Each year, just under 150,000 new cases of cancer are diagnosed in Australia – and almost 1,000 of them are in children and young people under the age of 18.

Footy Colours Day raises money for the Fight Cancer Foundation to help fund patient accommodation for more than 1,000 families each year, as well as cancer research into better treatments and outcomes for people of all ages.

We at MiCare Kilsyth office, held a lunch and brought a plate to share. Each staff wore their favourite team’s colours and we all spent a lovely afternoon discussing our teams and the memories we have of Footy.
