Helping Kids with Cancer to Get Moving
When Cindy Bakos and Cass Howcroft met in a parents’ kitchen in the oncology ward of the Royal Children’s Hospital, neither expected it would be the beginning of a friendship. Nor that it would create an organisation focused on getting sick children with cancer physically active.
Realising the positive impact physical activity had on Cass’s ill son Lochlan’s health and mindset after receiving a simple gift of a fitness watch, the pair began their mission to improve the outcomes of children living with cancer by launching the Little Big Steps organisation in 2018.
