Life Cycle for Canteen. Team Feverpitch
Do you want to join your old Uncle Brendan and young Nephew Mark from Team Feverpitch in making a difference? You probably noticed from our profile pic that we’d normally have a beer in hand of a Saturday arvo - and Sunday arvo for that matter! - but on Sat 7th to Mon 9th March, we’ll be on a bike minus a beer in hand riding from Bassendean (aka Basso) to Busselton (aka Busso) helping to raise funds for CANTEEN - THE AUSTRALIAN ORGANISATION FOR YOUNG PEOPLE LIVING WITH CANCER!
We usually donate to such awesome causes such as this but this time, we’re helping to raise funds and we want your money - please! Every donation, whatever you can afford, will help. Thank you in advance for your contribution to this cause that means so much to us!

The organisation also continued to provide psychosocial programs which facilitate skill development and peer support to help young people deal with the impact of cancer on their life. In addition a program aimed at creating more supportive school communities for YPLWC by educating students and teachers about the challenges of dealing with cancer was also developed.All the support that CanTeen provides is evidence-based and is guided by our internationally regarded research and evaluation unit.The Now What books provide information to help YPLWC deal with the impact of cancer. These continue to be very popular with e-book versions developed as well as continuing to send out thousands of hard copies free of charge.
