Archer's treatments give him a future. Your fundraising gives sick kids joy and fun!
Archer was fighting for his life when he arrived at Queensland Children’s Hospital. Life-saving cancer treatments meant he missed out on school, friends, and playtime.
But that doesn't mean he had to put his life, or his childhood, on hold.
Your passion and fundraising as a Switched-On supporter will mean that children like Archer can still experience the magic moments that every kid in Queensland, northern New South Wales and Northern Territory deserves – even during life-saving treatments and long hospital stays.
The funds you raise help provide programs, activities, and magic moments during what would otherwise be a pretty scary time.
Archer made some special memories thanks to visits from children’s entertainers and musical therapists during his hospital stays for chemotherapy.
As his mum Marta said, “And when we ask him about that time, those visitors and moments are what he remembers. Not the treatments or the pain.” - Marta, Archer's mum
