Leukaemia Foundation (Australia)

Scope of organisation

Description

The Leukaemia Foundation helps Australians with blood cancer. We offer wraparound health services, fund leading-edge research and campaign for change alongside our community.

Leukaemia, lymphoma, myeloma – every blood cancer matters to us. We’re here for anyone with any blood cancer, every step of the way. The Leukaemia Foundation is Australia’s most trusted cancer charity, made up of patients, carers, healthcare professionals, researchers, specialists and an army of community supporters.

Blood cancer is a difficult and dangerous opponent and one of the greatest health and social challenges we face. About 140,000 Australians are living with blood cancer, a number set to double by 2035. It cannot be prevented or screened for. It can strike anyone at any time. And it weighs heaviest on disadvantaged Australians and those living outside of our cities.

We’re changing that; it’s in our blood. We’ve spent nearly 50 years working with the community to help solve the challenges faced by people with blood cancer. And we’re not stopping until together we reach the day when zero lives are lost to blood cancer
