The Institute's vision is to save the lives of all children with cancer and improve the quality of life for survivors; and is led by Professor Michelle Haber {{post-nominals|country=AUS|AM}} since its establishment.[1] HistoryIn 1975, Jack Kasses and John Lough met in the waiting room of Sydney Children's Hospital where their daughter and son respectively were undergoing treatment for leukaemia. Lough approached the Apex Club in Wollongong to raise money for cancer research. They started the "Help a Kid Make It" campaign – with a target of $1 million to facilitate research into childhood cancer.[2] The Children’s Leukaemia and Cancer Foundation was established in May 1976. The foundation evolved into Children's Cancer Institute, which opened its own research laboratories in 1984. The first scientists to join the Institute were Haber, who is now the Executive Director, Murray Norris {{post-nominals|country=AUS|AM}}, now the Deputy Director, and Maria Kavallaris, now Program Head, Tumour Biology & Targeting. Research focusThe Institute is grouped into four main research units focused on the prevention and treatment of childhood cancer and include understanding childhood cancer, improving diagnosis, finding better treatments, and improving life after cancer. Achievements
Fundraising initiativesThe Institute undertakes a range of fundraising initiatives including 'Build for a Cure', where a newly-constructed and fully furnished home in {{NSWcity|Glenmore Park}} was sold at auction in 2014 for {{AUD}}783,000. Scott Cam was an ambassador for the initiative.[9][10][11] The Institute is also the beneficiary of many events held annually throughout Australia.[12][13][14][15] See also{{stack|{{portal|New South Wales|Health|Molecular and Cellular Biology}}}}
