Respite Accommodation at Bradley's Place, Inman Valley

Sadly in 1991, Neil and Robyn Walker lost one of their twins, Bradley, to cancer at the age of four.

The Walker's devastating and traumatic experience helped them to realise how important support systems were for other families facing similar problems. 

They turned the impact of their tragic loss into something positive and became actively involved in supporting the work of the Childhood Cancer Association and its support of other children and their families.

In 2004, with the funds raised by the Walkers and their fundraising group (The Six State Challenge Team) Bradley's Place was opened. Located at Inman Valley, the gentle sloping block is the perfect setting close to great beaches, Granite Island and Greenhills Adventure Park and all in reasonable proximity to Adelaide.

The completion of the project means that children with cancer and their families now have a special place, a 'peaceful haven' away from some of the stresses and demands that come with this life changing disease.
