Childhood Cancer Support staff and teams of helpful volunteers work together to host several different events and activities throughout the year.
Get involved in one of our events, or support the families who need us most with a donation. Every bit of help makes a difference.
2026 Date TBA
Join us for an unforgettable afternoon to support a cause that deeply affects our regional communities. Gather with industry leaders, mates and community champions for a long lunch with real impact. Proceeds will help Childhood Cancer Support to provide accommodation, transport and support services to families facing childhood cancer because no family should have to face childhood cancer alone, especially not from hundreds of kilometres away.
We have a wonderful community of supporters that hold fundraising events in support of Childhood Cancer Support. If you are interested in hosting a community fundraising event we would love to hear from you!

This year marks a special milestone as Ride for Love celebrates its 10th year of riding for a cause close to the heart.
Returning on Saturday, 8th August, Ride for Love will hit the streets once again to raise vital funds for Childhood Cancer Support. Riders can look forward to a scenic group ride, with route and lunch details to be confirmed closer to the event.
Created by Stuart and Leanne Love, one of Childhood Cancer Support’s families, Ride for Love began as a tribute to their daughter, Emma, and has grown into a powerful community event supporting families facing childhood cancer.
Saturday 15th August – Saturday 22nd August 2026
Each year, riders from across Queensland jump on their trusty Postie bikes and hit the open road, covering around 2,000 kilometres of stunning regional landscapes over one unforgettable week. Along the way, they raise vital funds through donations, raffles and auctions, helping make a real difference to the lives of others. In 2025, the Postie Bike Safari proudly raised more than $100,000 for Childhood Cancer Support, providing a home away from home for regional families facing the toughest of times. And in 2026, we are returning…ready to ride and raise even more.
The 2026 route is being finalised, but registrations are open now. Please note the $500 Rider registration fee will be invoiced in 2026. So, if you’re up for an adventure with purpose, don’t wait! Gear up, register early, and start fundraising today.
Want to learn more or join the ride? Contact Greg at gregbec@bigpond.com or call 0407 635 383 to find out how you can be part of the journey.

Each week families are able to come together around our playground for a complimentary coffee, cake and chat with our Family Social Worker. Our Coffee, Cake & Chat events allows families the opportunity to be in a warm and nurturing environment with other families alike and provide support to one another. It is also a time to forget about hospital appointments and enjoy the social aspects of being with other families.
It is a lovely environment where our children are playing in our outdoor playground whilst parents can chat and get to know each other. Many long-standing friendships have been forged at Childhood Cancer Support with our families around our social events.
We also invite guest speakers to talk with the families about issues relevant to their cancer journey.
On the last Friday of each month, Childhood Cancer Support offers a free BBQ for all families. It is an evening where the parents and children can unwind, eat a sumptuous steak cooked on the BBQ and sample delicious accompanying foods, plus enjoy one another’s company in a relaxed and supportive environment. Our BBQs are run by volunteers, who provide this service with much love and dedication to our oncology families.
Our Family Social Worker organises activities each school holiday period for the resident families and those families who have previously stayed with Childhood Cancer Support. These activities are for all family members and are different each holiday period. Activities include arts and crafts, cooking, in-house movie days, excursions, sports or competitions. Our Family Social Worker makes the activities inclusive for patients and their siblings and ensures that if a patient wants to attend but needs some support or assistance, that appropriate arrangements are made.
We also offer the following supports for families:
