Little Heroes Foundation

Children are the inspiration behind the Little Heroes Foundation, a Charity dedicated to support children diagnosed with Cancer and serious illness, and their families.

Every time you purchase one of Fleurieu White and Flavoured Milk, and Yoghurt products part of the proceeds supports the Foundation and the work it does for the children, from diagnosis and throughout treatment and beyond.

Funds are directed primarily to vital medical facilities and family support programs and as part of its latest fundraising efforts is allocating $2.5 million towards the establishment of a new single point of service wing - The Michael Rice Haematology & Oncology Centre - and $1 million towards a new MRI unit at the Women’s & Children’s Hospital.

Every year approximately 60 children and young adults diagnosed with cancer in South Australia. The good news is that childhood cancer survival rates have increased dramatically over the last 30 years, from 25% in the late 1960s, to approximately 75% today.

So because childhood cancer survivors are living longer, their long-term health and late effects therapies have also become a focus on how the Foundation goes about its support.
