Inspired by a big heart and brain, the Robert Connor Dawes Foundation was created in June 2013 in the memory of Robert ‘Connor’ Dawes.
We are battling paediatric brain tumours and supporting brain matters in the areas of research, care and development – to fund the science to end brain cancer and support patients in the meantime.
Music Therapy Program
The Robert Connor Dawes Foundation offers blocks of 10 in-home or online music therapy sessions free to children and young people 25 years and under, Australia wide, who have been diagnosed with a brain tumour. In some cases where music therapy isn't possible or appropriate, we also have a Music Therapy Resource Grant available.
Music is more than just fun and relaxing, it can have a profound impact on our brains. Music therapy is an allied health profession that has been found to improve speech and motor deficits, boost mood, reduce anxiety, enhance quality of life and support young people to express thoughts and feelings. It is non-invasive, uplifting and fun, all of which help the heart sing and the mind heal.
