Today, 20 Australians lost their lives to blood cancer.
Blood cancer remains a leading cause of cancer death in Australia.
There are no screening programs available for this group of diseases, and there is no way to prevent blood cancer through lifestyle changes.
People have the best chance of surviving and then living well when they’re diagnosed quickly and treated with the best medicines.
Sadly, this isn’t the case for all Australians. We’re on a mission to change that.
Together we can reach our goal of zero lives lost to blood cancer by 2035.
A gift today will provide essential life-saving support services and hope for people affected by blood cancer and their families all around Australia. Such as:
ACCESS to treatment through accommodation & transport
Australians living with blood cancer should be able to access the latest treatment and clinical trials – no matter what part of the country they’re from.
By providing accommodation and transport, you will make sure that everyone with blood cancer can get the life-saving treatment they need when they need it.
RESEARCH to save lives with better tests and treatments
You will help accelerate research across all types of cancer – finding better ways to diagnose, developing more effective and less toxic treatments, improving life after blood cancer.
Progress is advancing rapidly. With your gift, you would bring us even closer towards a future where people survive blood cancer and then live well.
SUPPORT for families – emotional, financial & information
Getting the right information and support not only helps people survive blood cancer but thrive after it.
You can also help provide families with their own Blood Cancer Support Coordinator – a qualified health professional who is always there to answer questions and offer support. Thanks to you, no one will have to face blood cancer alone.
Your gift will make a big difference in the lives of people affected by blood cancer.
