They have opened the AYA specific patient treatment rooms at the RAH and our committee members were able to attend and rub shoulders with the likes of Lance Armstrong and Premier Mike Rann. Have a look at the photo's and see the rooms that we helped furnish for young adults living with cancer.

Welcome to the Chad Hancock Foundation
The Chad
During
There are many services provided for people with breast cancer or prostate cancer and for children who are unfortunate enough to become ill.
The mission of the Chad
Over the time since establishment of the Foundation we have supported the following charities working with young adults:
Canteen
Women’s and Children’s Hospital Foundation
We have commenced a fund within the W&CHF called the Chad Hancock Foundation Young Adult Support Fund to help cover every day expenses for young adults going through cancer treatment. This fund has covered expenses like Telephone Bills, Dental Bills, Electricity Bills, Rent and even Food Vouchers.
Cancer Care Centre
We have supported a counselling program run by the Cancer Care Centre at Unley which provides free counselling for young adults and their families by a trained phychologist to help work through some of the issues of suffering from cancer
Exercise and Recovery Program
We are currently supporting an exercise and recovery program for young cancer patients through the Hampstead Centre and the Royal Adelaide Hospital. We have also helped to furnish 2 recovery and treatment rooms specifically for AYA's located at the RAH. These will hopefully provide a better environment for young people to receive treatment and help with their recovery.
When we first started our foundation there was little or no services for this group; however in the last 4 years since the commencement of the charity we have seen the appointment of a Cancer Care Coordinator for Adolescents & Young Adults with the Health department and a social worker appointed to specifically to deal with AYA’s and we have tried to work closely with them to raise awareness of the need for further support.
We have raised in excess of $180,000 and we will be running a number of fund raising events this year with our major fund raising funvtion for the next 12 months being "The Race Day" lunch on the 19th of February 2011 at Allan Scott Park Morphetville with 200 expected guests. In Feb 2010 we raised in excess of $25,000 on the day to support young adults and we hope to be bigger and better in 2011.
All of our committee and supporters are voluntary and all funds raised go directly to the charity.
We welcome any support you can provide and any donations will go directly to help young adults with cancer.
