Yesterday, thousands of runners took on the Ultimate Human Race.
Along the route, there was another team showing up with just as much heart.

You reminded us that the spirit of Comrades is not only found in those running the race, but also in those who stand beside them, lifting them up every step of the way.
Because of your dedication, warmth, and generosity, the CHOC spirit was felt throughout the route.

Some journeys are not just about the road ahead…
They are about the lives changed along the way.

What exactly is a brain tumour?
A brain tumour occurs when abnormal cells grow in or around the brain. Depending on its location, it can affect how a child thinks, moves, sees, feels, or develops.

Beyond the medical journey, families may face emotional, practical and financial challenges as they navigate appointments, treatment and time away from home. That is why support matters.

At CHOC, we help families focus on their child by providing accommodation near treatment centres, transport assistance, psychosocial support and practical care throughout treatment. Because no child or family should face childhood cancer alone.

Her story is a reminder that survivorship is not a single moment. It is a process of healing, adapting and discovering strength in places you never expected. Keeping more than hope alive.
