Cancer therapy too harsh for kids

In May 2025, the Children’s Cancer Foundation launched a new brand campaign – Don’t treat kids like adults – to raise awareness of the urgent need for better and kinder cancer treatments for children.

The Foundation is grateful to Natalie and Rafael Oaten who bravely shared Raf’s childhood cancer story to raise awareness of the side effects cancer treatment has on young children.

Funds raised at The Million Dollar Lunch go towards research initiatives, cutting edge projects and family support services that make things better for families, just like the Oaten’s.

Kids like Raf deserve better and kinder cancer treatments that don’t leave behind devastating side effects.
