The Kyle Andrews Foundation - Making the Dream a Reality

In early 1998 a young Broome boy undergoing treatment for leukaemia at PMH (Princess Margaret Hospital)in Perth WA, had a dream of bringing some of his young friends from the ward to Cable Beach in Broome so that, in his words, " they might feel better".

The main goals of the Kyle Andrews Foundation for 2008:

Our Main Goals

• to ensure that Kyle's Camp runs in Broome annually to help children from Ward 3B in Princess Margaret Hospital (PMH) fight their battle with cancer
  

• to provide accommodation in Broome for the families of
  these kids suffering cancer to get away as a family to experience Broome
  

• to financially support Broome families with kids suffering cancer
  

• support Ronald McDonald House where country kids and their families stay during their treatment at PMH.

Carrying On the Dream, In His Memory

Kyle was born 15th January 1987 at Pinjarra Hospital. He came to Broome the next year and spent the winter months on Cable Beach in nappies or nothing.

It was a life style he grew up with and at the young age of two could windsurf and surf. As the years went on he just got better and better.

There was no one who could catch him at running or surf life saving and at the age of ten was Broome Surf Club Junior Ironman. Not only did he take out his age group, but he beat a number of older kids as well.

His real love, however, was fishing and following in his brother Troy's footsteps, he spent his last years catching some of the best fish around Broome.

In March of 1997 he was diagnosed with leukaemia and spent 16 months fighting the disease only to lose the battle on the 23rd July 1998..

The Kyle Andrews camp for 2008 was a huge sucess. This was the 11th year the camp will have run.
