OUR MISSION

The Perthes Kids Foundation Australia & New Zealand Ltd is established to be a charity whose purpose is to advance social and public welfare by supporting children afflicted with the rare, chronic childhood condition Legg- Calve- Perthes Disease. 

The Perthes Kids Foundation Australia and New Zealand Ltd will fundraise to provide  Camp Perthes Australia, an annual unique opportunity for those afflicted with the active stages of Legg-Calve-Perthes Disease, aged 7-15 years to participate and experience a five day supported activities camp, located here in Australia.

By providing Camp Perthes, the Perthes Kids Foundation  also hopes to  raise awareness of this disease with a focus on Australia and the surrounding region and encourage international research into finding the causes, prevention and cure of this rare disease, whilst connecting families and individuals throughout the region, who, due to the rarity of this condition often endure the long process of treatment and recovery in complete isolation.
