The Orange Hearts Bursary program, supported by Hyundai Help for Kids, will be providing 10 x $500 bursaries to children 18 years and under from families who are battling a diagnosis of cervical cancer. Funds will be used to cover the costs of resources such as schoolbooks and stationery and aims to give children joy, escape, and hope, as well as a sense of stability and focus during what can be a stressful time.

This program aims to help families such as Dannii’s. A mum of two daughters and cervical cancer survivor, Dannii describes her 2018 diagnosis as ‘a whirlwind… I was a lot luckier than other women, but that didn’t make my journey an easy one’.

The Australian Cervical Cancer Foundation has one mission – to eliminate cervical cancer in Australia. Nearly all cases of cervical cancer are caused by the Human Papillomavirus (HPV), and can be prevented by a simple, safe and effective HPV vaccine which provides 93% protection to cervical cancers. With the introduction of a new and more effective Cervical screen test (formally the Pap Test) ACCF are now looking to eliminate cervical cancer in Australia by 2028, an astounding 7 years earlier than previously declared (2035).
