Respite Accommodation (Bradley's Place)

In 1991, Neil and Robyn Walker lost one of their twins, Bradley, to cancer at the age of four. The Walker's experience helped them to realise how important support systems were for other families facing a similar situation and subsequently became actively involved in supporting the work of the Childhood Cancer Association.

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 house is perfectly located close to great beaches, Granite Island, Greenhills Adventure Park, Urimbirra Wildlife Park and the Steam Ranger and all in reasonable proximity to Adelaide.

The completion of the project, aptly named 'Bradley's Place', 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 illness.

Families who have a child with cancer, and families who have lost a child to cancer are eligible to stay at Bradley's Place throughout the year. Some conditions do apply.

Features of Bradley's Place include:

• 3 bedrooms including one King Size Bed, 2 bunk beds with trundles (6 single beds in total) and free-standing cot and port-a-cot
• Central heating and cooling
• Additional gas heating
• Games room
• Playground (fully fenced)
• Outdoor entertainment area
• BBQ
• Call Direct System to allow immediate access to SA Ambulance
• Bathroom with separate bath/shower, laundry with toilet
