When was red nose day

Cure Kids continues to fund research into improving health outcomes for children living with CF. We are currently funding a project investigating the identification of harmful bacteria in the lungs using a breath test. Cancer is a leading cause of childhood death in New Zealand, and sadly, approximately children under the age of 15 will be diagnosed with some form of cancer every year.

Cure Kids is supporting childhood cancer specialist, Dr Andrew Wood, who is investigating methods of treating childhood cancer more gently and with less long-term adverse effects. Disorders include anxiety, ADHD, autism, bipolar disorder, depression, eating disorders and schizophrenia. She is investigating insights into the causes of mental health conditions and developing research-led treatments and prevention strategies with the aim of improving outcomes for young people and families.

Obesity is becoming an increasingly critical health issue, especially so in children. More than a quarter of a million of New Zealand children are overweight or obese, predisposing them to long-term, adverse health outcomes including coronary, heart disease, stroke, and diabetes among others. Epilepsy is the most common serious neurological illness of children and young people; more than children develop epilepsy each year. Constant seizures can lead to profound physical, psychological and social consequences for kids; and can increase anxiety and socially avoidant behaviour.
