Challenge announce Melbourne benefit show

Friday 17th September - Bendigo Hotel, Collingwood. Six of Australia’s rowdiest punk bands form a united front in the fight against cancer. No Credit, Subject To Change, Doomsday Saints, Public Liability, Flangipanis (QLD) and the Murderballs take over the Johnston St venue from 8pm. Entry is $10 – all door proceeds plus 5% of bar takings go directly to Challenge, supporting kids with cancer (www.challenge.org.au).

Each year in Victoria there more than 200 children are diagnosed with cancer and a further 1000 are receiving ongoing treatment. The pain, fear and anxiety that follow affect not only the children, but their families and loved ones as well.

The role of Challenge is to ensure that children and families are provided with continual support, from the time of diagnosis, through the treatment period and beyond. By implementing ongoing, tailored experiences for members, Challenge is able to make life fun and happy for kids during the greatest challenge of their young lives.

All Challenge activities promote family unity and encourage the formation of support networks, a vital component in the healing process.

Visit www.challenge.org.au for further information about the vital work of Challenge, and help them to support their families by attending this very special event.
