The Kids Cancer Project Head of Partnerships Patrick Phibbs shares the story behind Pirate Day as families and companies across Australia dress up as pirates to raise money for the Kids’ Cancer Project during Brain Cancer Awareness Month.

“Pirate Day is an initiative that started in 2014 when a family in Perth, their son Connor, was diagnosed with brain cancer at the age of 7,” Mr Phibbs told Sky News Australia.

“Connor, after having treatments, some of the side effects were that he had to wear an eye patch and went into his school, and they did a fundraiser for him.

“We’ve been handed this campaign and now the initiative is, it’s an opportunity first of all to raise awareness for Brain Cancer Awareness Month, to dress up like a pirate, have a bit of fun – and also raise funds for childhood brain cancer research.”
