Help me take a stand against blood cancer
Right now, over 150,000 Australians are facing the devastating impact of blood cancer, 53 people are diagnosed and 17 lose their life every single day.
In 2023 I was diagnosed with a rare and aggressive blood cancer. The treatment was brutal, but the support I received from the staff at The Mater Hospital, friends and family was invaluable. Now it’s time for me to give back and raise awareness for something I knew nothing about until it literally came from nowhere and smashed me for 6.
Any amount – big or small – will make a real, tangible difference.
