Our Mission

Kids Kicking Cancer’s Mission is “to ease the pain of very sick children while empowering them to heal physically, spiritually and emotionally.”

About Us

Kids Kicking Cancer is a global organization dedicated to lowering the pain of children through the teaching of martial arts as a therapy.  Children learn breath work, meditation and traditional karate movements that empower them to teach others and thus gain purpose within their lives.  Our young cancer patients teach other children with challenging illness and even adults how to “breathe in the light and blow out the darkness”.  This has extended into the creation of a Heroes Circle program dedicated to lowering the pain of all children regardless of disease.

Kids Kicking Cancer began in 1999 with ten children at Children’s Hospital of Michigan and is now empowering over 5,000 children in 48 hospitals in 5 countries.

In 2010, Canada’s first Kids Kicking Cancer program was piloted in Windsor. The program expanded to London in 2012 with service at Children’s Hospital, London Health Sciences Centre and community programs. In 2018, a community-based program began in Ottawa.
