The Kids\u2019 Cancer Project is an independent charity dedicated to helping kids with cancer through research.<\/p>\n<p>It was wonderful to see the \u2018buy-in\u2019 from our cycling community for this worthy charity. With over nine hundred and fifty children diagnosed annually in Australia and tragically killing more children than any other disease \u2013 it\u2019s vital we do our part to raise awareness and funds for research.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-1292 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bowralclassic.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/Owen-Finegan-205x300.jpg\" alt=\"Owen Finegan\" width=\"205\" height=\"300\" \/>\u201cChildhood cancer is different to adult cancer which can be caused through age and lifestyle factors. With no known causes, there is no way to prevent childhood cancer,\u201d explained Owen Finegan Chief Executive of The Kids\u2019 Cancer Project. Finegan was an integral part of the Australian Rugby Union team the Wallabies for a decade following his first appearance in 1996. He won 56 international matches with the Wallabies and played 90 &#8216;Super 12&#8217; matches for the ACT Brumbies.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThanks to community support we are able to fund the best researchers across Australia working in childhood cancer. Our research priorities allow us to participate in areas that have the greatest impact on survivorship while minimising the effects of toxic treatments,\u201d said Owen.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere are rides for all levels of cycling ability by taking on a physical challenge you are acknowledging the challenges facing these kids and their families &#8211; I encourage everyone to join the Bowral Classic and ride for us!\u201d You can do so as an individual or team.

The\u00a0Phase I\u00a0clinical trial supported by The Kids\u2019 Cancer Project involves children with relapsed high risk neuroblastoma\u00a0who have a 1 in 5 chance of surviving their relapse.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thekidscancerproject.org.au\/about-us\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">To learn more about The Kids\u2019 Cancer Project visit their website here. <\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thekidscancerproject.org.au\/for-families\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">To learn about Declan currently on DFMO visit the site here.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Bowral Classic is excited to announce The Kids\u2019 Cancer Project as a charity partner in 2016.
