25.01.2022 Renee remembers thinking appendicitis was such an inconvenience. That was until she received the diagnosis that left her wishing she had appendicitis she had stage 3 cancer. I was in the cancer centre by myself and I’d get asked whether I was there for work or to visit a grandparent and I’d say I was there to visit someone else because I think people get overwhelmed when it’s a young person with cancer.

17.01.2022 Supporter Appreciation Post! Meet 14 year-old, Billie For #BandannaDay last year she shaved her head! Her proud mum said, Billie is an extremely passionate and caring person about other people. When she thinks that others have been suffering or are suffering she tries to do all she can. Although I have been touched deeply by cancer in my family, Billie has been lucky enough to not witness it first-hand. She feels that if we do just a bit to help others it will make us better people! If you think Billie is an absolute legend and is rockin’ her new do, give her some love below!

15.01.2022 My first day of high school I went to the Launceston Hospital to see mum before I started. During the time of mum’s passing people tried to comfort me but that only lasted for like a week and then they all began to forget what happened and how badly I was struggling. Kids at that age still thought ‘yo momma’ jokes were funny, not caring about who was around and they would pull out the ‘I fully forgot, I’m sorry’. Throughout high school and college, I was bullied about the fact that I didn’t have a mum. Jacob, 19 Jacob is one of our incredible Youth Ambassadors using his story as a means of helping other young people going through similar experiences. Thank you, Jacob

15.01.2022 The original plan was just an eye appointment but 24 hours later we found that I was going to have brain surgery to remove a massI grew up in a small town where I was the only young person with cancer that was quite a big thing to overcome and quite isolating. Georgia is now thankfully in remission and shared her story with Nightly News 7 Tasmania for Bandanna Day this year. There's still time to get involved and support young people experiencing cancer like Georgia, grab your bandanna at www.bandannaday.org.au

13.01.2022 Everyone, stop what you're doing! We need you to take a moment to appreciate JACQUELINE She slid into our DMs with this lovely note... "Thank you all for your compassion towards the young who have experienced cancer. Your bandannas are great and I intend to wear mine on a regular basis so people will ask and enquire what 'Canteen' is. Who thinks we need more Jacquelines in the world? Ps. Way to rock that bandanna!

12.01.2022 National NAIDOC Week is a celebration for all Australians. It celebrates the history, culture and achievements of First Nations Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. In 2020, we celebrate the theme, ‘Always Was, Always Will Be’. The theme recognises that First Nations peoples have occupied and cared for this continent for over 65,000 years. Canteen encourages all Australians to celebrate NAIDOC Week by participating in the range of activities offered to support your ...local Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities. Canteen’s NAIDOC Week celebrations include the launch of our Reflect Reconciliation Action Plan. We are proud to show our commitment towards supporting national reconciliation, and welcome the opportunity to partner with First Nations organisations to ensure voices of the community are heard. We are committed to learning, acknowledging, respecting and embedding cultural competence in all areas of Canteen. #NAIDOC2020 #NAIDOCWeek #NAIDOC

11.01.2022 Olivia truly enjoyed the meet up with everyone at Canteen. She was very nervous in the days leading up to it but when I picked her up after the event she was so chatty and so energised. I want to express my gratitude for my daughter being able to be a part of Canteen as I believe she will gain a lot from the experiences. It was truly special having my daughter so happy. Olivia will definitely be at the next event! Olivia’s mum. The South Australian crew had a blast catching up for the first time since lockdown getting spooky for Halloween!

09.01.2022 Cancer sometimes leaves a hole that can never be filled. Milestones like birthdays, anniversaries and special occasions can be particularly hard to deal with. Tell us about who you miss and maybe even some tips on how you honour their memory or stay connected to them

09.01.2022 On Canteen Connect we're talking about the (not so useful) art of overthinking. In our online event, our team shared some helpful tools for turning down the volume on overthinking when it gets in the way of life. The top tips of the night included: be self-aware, be mindful and get support. Overthinking is far more common than many realise. Keep an eye out for more self-care sessions like this over the coming months: https://bit.ly/2VAZw6i

08.01.2022 With Valentine's Day coming up, we want to start a discussion on cancer's impact on relationships. When cancer comes crashing into your world, boyfriends/girlfriends/partners/people-you-are-seeing play a huge role. But, cancer can also take a huge toll on our relationships. What has been your experience?

08.01.2022 For many in our community Valentine's Day isn't all roses. So, let's spread some love! Post your best Valentine’s GIFs and Emojis below to show our young people that they are not alone in their journey

07.01.2022 I definitely feel each Canteen member is there for you in a different way some are there to help you have a laugh, some are there to help you tackle the serious aspect of it, and that just goes off what they've experienced. If I met someone who was diagnosed recently then I feel I would be able to sit with them and be like, 'Hey, I've been in your shoes, it's scary'. Tate, 20.

07.01.2022 I wrote this song for my beautiful daughter, her name is Jess. It’s all about the male emu being a responsible father, hatching those eggs and raising them until they’re big enough and strong enough to look after themselves.
