The Telethon Adventurers

Welcome

The Telethon Adventurers are a group of people dedicated to finding the cause and ultimately the cure for childhood cancer.

We will soon be distributing nearly $1,500,000 raised during 2011 to our chosen beneficiaries the Princess Margaret Hospital for Children and the Telethon Institute for Child Health Research. This will include:

• A new Cancer Research Fellowship at the Telethon Institute for Child Health Research (TICHR)
• A new Cancer Clinical and Research Fellowship at the Princess Margaret Hospital for Children (PMH)
• A new Research Project to identify new drugs for the treatment of childhood cancers
• More than $700,000 of equipment for TICHR and PMH including:
• Flow Symmetry Analyser and Cell Sorter for research at TICHR
• Wall mounted blood pressure machines for PMH ward 3B - the children's oncology ward and Total Care Unit and
• Providing mobility equipment to help mobilise children on at the Paediatric Rehabilitation Dept at PMH

In addition to this the Telethon Adventurers also have a close relationship with regional Western Australia. As the beneficiary of the recent Tour de Gracetown ride in the South West, we were able to support the Margaret River Hospital with some badly needed equipment enabling treatment locally, and eliminating the need to travel to Perth.

Everyone who joins our Adventures becomes a Telethon Adventurer and is required to conduct their own local fundraising events, which are listed on our events page.

In 2012 our planned Adventures include: 

• The 2012 Woolworths Ride for Elliot
• The Woolworths Telethon Adventurers Ball Mont Blanc 2012, including climbing Gran Paradiso - Italy, rafting and other fun adventures 
• The 2012 Tour for a Cure USA, Harley Davison ride/drive (Ford Mustang Convertibles) 
• The 2012 Jump to find a cure for childhood cancer 
• Kingo’s “Mystery Asian Adventure”

The dates and details for these adventures will soon be posted on this site, and if you can’t join us on one of these adventures, we would love to help you support us through your own event – be it a cup cake sale or climbing a mountain.

No mountain's too high, no building's too tall, and no road's too long!
