Welcome to the Second Oncothon, in collaboration with SIOP.
In this inspiring message, Dr. Kirsty Duncan — scientist, former Minister of Science for Canada, marathoner, triathlete, and cancer survivor — shares a powerful personal reflection and a global call to action on childhood cancer.

Speaking from Canada, Dr. Duncan delivers words of encouragement to children fighting cancer, honors the courage of families, and thanks the doctors, nurses, and researchers dedicated to saving young lives. She emphasizes the urgent need to close global gaps in access to care and research, reminding us that the greatest predictor of survival should never be geography.

With heartfelt stories and unwavering advocacy, she champions the importance of science, the need for greater funding in pediatric oncology, and the inclusion of the “invisible 80%” — children treated outside of research hospitals.
