THE AUSTRALIAN CANCER RESEARCH FOUNDATION (ACRF)
We are very proud to be an authorised fundraiser with The Australian Cancer Research Foundation. Our partnership commenced in 2010 with the original musical soundtrack and we've sung, performed and walked for them since then!
The reason why we admire The Australian Cancer Research Foundation so much is because they don't get side-tracked with marketing. They remain focused on research. You may not have even heard of them - but that's because of their sole approach and professionalism. For example, they funded the breakthrough Cervical Cancer Vaccine.

GRIFFITH UNIVERSITY
We jumped at the opportunity to work with Dr Vanette McLennan, Senior Lecturer in Rehabilitation Counselling, because we wanted our Educational Handout 'Not Sure What to Say?' to be based on real knowledge, research and experience.
The handout is a resource that comes from a cancer patient's perspective and compliments The Silk Rags Project's performances. When faced with the distressing news of a family member or friend being diagnosed with cancer, saying and doing the 'right' things can be tricky. While everyone is different and will require individualised support, the Educational Handout gives a few tips to navigate this with compassion.
An article about the Educational Handout is here.
