One hundred per cent of proceeds from the range will fund nights of accommodation for regional youth cancer patients through Sony Foundation\u2019s You Can Stay program.<\/p>\n<p>As part of the national accommodation program, You Can Stay, youth cancer patients from across Australia are able to access free and uncapped accommodation in a self-contained apartment at Quest Apartment Hotels for the duration of their stay in a metropolitan hospital such as RBWH.<\/p>\n<p>20-year-old RBWH patient Jurgen has accessed more than 180 nights of accommodation to date, stating without You Can Stay he would have had to make a difficult decision to go to work during COVID with a compromised immune system to fund a place to stay.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was alone on the other side of the world to my family and friends during a global pandemic when I received my cancer diagnosis,\u201d Jurgen said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf it wasn\u2019t for the support of the Sony Foundation, I\u2019m not sure what I would have done.\u201d .<\/p>\n<p>From DJ lessons to pancake stations, the pyjama party was a fun-filled afternoon as adolescent and young adult cancer patients aged 15-25-years came together to show their support for their regional peers, and raise awareness of the Sleep Exchange range.<\/p>\n<p>The Sony Foundation and Cotton On pyjamas are available for a limited time. The pyjama range is backed by some of the biggest names in the music industry including <strong>Foo Fighters<\/strong>, <strong>Amy Shark<\/strong> and <strong>Slash<\/strong> from <strong>Guns N&#8217; Roses<\/strong> who collaborated with Sony Foundation on exclusive PJ designs and robes.<\/p>\n<p>Dr Glen Kennedy, Executive Director Cancer Services at RBWH, said it is important for the community to come together to support those who face additional burdens in accessing treatment.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs Queensland\u2019s largest hospital, Royal Brisbane and Women\u2019s Hospital support a high number of regional youth cancer patients every year,\u201d Glen said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am proud of our youth cancer community coming together to show their support of their peers who are required to travel far from home to access life-saving treatment.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The RBWH Sony You Can Youth Cancer Centre recently hosted a very special event to help launch the Sony Foundation\u2019s You Can Stay program\u2019s latest fundraiser, Sleep Exchange. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":53,"featured_media":10592,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_searchwp_excluded":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[176],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-9241","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news-at-the-royal"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.2 -
