Could anything be more devastating than finding out your child has a potentially life-threatening brain cancer? How about finding out that no research was done on the disease until 8 years ago?

That’s all changing though; Julie Adams, co-founder of Chemo@Home, and her team will hike over 100kms in six days survival style for the Dirk Hartog Survivor Challenge to raise money for the Pirate Ship Foundation and their lifesaving research into childhood brain cancer.
