👪 Imagine being told your son would die if a transplant wasn't successful.
This was the reality for Prue, Chase's mum, who was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) at just 4 years old in 2018.
🗣️ "The first signs of illness were fevers and night sweats. We then headed to the hospital for some test results, hoping to return by dinner time that night.
"Little did I know we wouldn’t return home for more than six months.”
In the months following his diagnosis, Chase endured numerous rounds of chemotherapy and drugs as well as a bone marrow transplant 🏥
His transplant donor? Prue herself.
“I was a 100% match for Chase, which is very rare for a parent. If I didn’t do it, he would die. And if I did do it, and it failed, he’d die."
Thankfully, the transplant was a success, and in 2022 Chase finally got to ring the fabled bell, signalling the end of his treatment 🔔
Being from Townsville, Prue and her family travelled 1,300km to Brisbane to be closer to Chase during his life-saving treatment. This was made possible by the Leukaemia Foundation.
"For us, the Leukaemia Foundation supported the family. They provided us a place to call home.
"I leaned on the Blood Cancer Support Coordinators at the village in some critical moments during our journey. They were never too busy to walk you through some of the medical jargon or just have a chat.”

👶 Natasha was 23 weeks pregnant when she was diagnosed with blood cancer 🩸
🗣️ “We had our 20-week scan, and everything was looking great as it was still being classed as a low-risk pregnancy.”
In May 2023, she began to experience soreness in her ribs and a persistent cough. After numerous tests, she was told she had hodgkin lymphoma.
"My pregnancy was immediately changed to high-risk, and I was worried this was the end of my pregnancy journey, and I'd be forced to terminate.
"I ended up giving birth via emergency c-section at 37 weeks to a beautiful healthy girl, Mia.”
In March, Natasha shaved her head for the World's Greatest Shave and raised $3,741 to support others diagnosed with blood cancer 💇
“When they started to shave my head, I felt so empowered. My emotions quickly changed when I looked over to see my younger brother crying.
"He said to me after the shave, ‘In that moment, watching your hair come off it made the situation real for me and what you've been going through."
Natasha is currently undergoing immunotherapy treatment and will soon have a stem cell transplant, before returning to a 'normal life' with Mia and her family.

Right now, the limited data available shows Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people experience poorer health outcomes for blood cancer.
🩸That’s why the Leukaemia Foundation wants Australia to better understand the scale and impact of blood cancer within First Nations communities.
With guidance from the Australian Government Department of Health and Aged Care and in consultation with Cancer Australia, we’ve invested over $730,000 in a first-of-its-kind epidemiological study to help inform the development of high quality, equitable and culturally safe health services.
The research study is led by Professor Gail Garvey, a Kamilaroi woman and distinguished Professor of Indigenous Health Research, and is guided by a Project Advisory Group that includes First Nations members with a lived experience of blood cancer.
🗓️ Set to be completed in early 2025, the study will help shape the priorities to address challenges and barriers aimed at improving outcomes for First Nations people diagnosed with blood cancer.

🐶 “We took our dog Otto for a walk to the market in the morning, it felt like a normal day.”
35-year-old Sydneysider Kish Modi was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) in October 2023.
🗣️ “There were no warning signs – things just hit, very suddenly.
“My partner Paul and I did house chores in the arvo and went to the pub for a few beers with friends in the evening.
“Suddenly, things started to change. I felt dizzy leaving the pub. By the time I got home, I was vomiting and had diarrhoea.
“I thought I had food poisoning. By Monday (three days later), I was in the emergency room at Sydney’s Royal Prince Alfred Hospital and was very sick.
“Things started to feel serious when the doctors told me I needed a blood transfusion.
“On Tuesday morning, the doctors confirmed I had blood cancer, which came as a shock to me and my family.
🎢 “Since that day, it’s been a rollercoaster.
“I’m currently recovering from my most recent operation, and the plan is then to have more chemo followed by a stem cell transplant.
“Despite the challenges, I’m trying to remain resilient. My family and I are now fundraising for the Leukaemia Foundation to help others with blood cancer.”
Kish is aiming to raise $100,000 for the Leukaemia Foundation, and his family will be matching donations dollar-for-dollar for the rest of 2024 up to $100,000.

After six years without a haircut, and hearing his grandma was visiting Australia, Fynn Macleod knew it was time to get rid of his curls for the World's Greatest Shave ✂️
🗣️ "He passed in 2015, so in honour of him I decided to Shave my hair to help raise funds for blood cancer research.
"I hadn’t seen grandma in five years so I thought it'd be special to have her Shave my head as the loss of her husband still affects her every day, even almost nine years later.
"There are so many people in my life who wouldn't know me without my long hair. It's just something people won't be able even to imagine, Fynn without his man bun!"

🩸 "Little did I know I had blood cancer with multiple tumors inside me."
Receiving the news of a Stage 3 Hodgkin's Lymphoma diagnosis came as a shock to Roseanna.
Aged just 30, she had no genetic history of cancer in her family and had always been healthy, ate well and exercised regularly.
The only major symptom was severe fatigue, which she put down to university exam stress and backpacking in Europe months earlier in 2022.
🗣️ "I recall sitting in the cancer centre before receiving my official diagnosis thinking that I shouldn’t be there – that it was a place where only really sick people were.
Roseanna had five tumours around the base of her neck, with more discovered in her spleen and liver - a telltale sign of lymphoma.
👩⚕️ She was immediately thrust into four rounds of chemotherapy and fertility preservation to ensure she could have children if she chose to, post cancer.
Fortunately, she lived close to the hospital and had her family and hematologist supporting her through every treatment stage. She was declared in remission in May 2023.
Roseanna's blood cancer journey isn't uncommon. In fact, 1 in 12 Australians will be diagnosed with a blood cancer and it can happen to anyone, anytime, anywhere.
With blood cancer being one of the most costly cancers to treat, we rely on the generous donations of individuals to provide wraparound health services to people like Roseanna.

🩸 There are 120+ types of blood cancer, many of which are rare, non-preventable, non-screenable, difficult to diagnose and difficult to treat.
Sarah’s son died 104 days after being diagnosed with a rare leukaemia, just after his second birthday.
🗣️ “As a remote family on holiday in Perth when he was diagnosed, we were eligible to stay at a local charity centre after our son was admitted to a hospital in October 2020.
“He would never leave again, dying there in January 2021.
“Benji was always fist-bumping and high-fiving his doctors and nurses, blowing kisses to them through the window of his room and loved to help with his medications.
“His blood cancer confounded his oncologists and they consulted worldwide with experts to no avail.”
Sadly, the Kentwell family’s rare blood cancer journey was fraught with obstacles, including:
📍 Logistical challenges being based on Christmas Island.
🏥 Difficulty finding fit-for-purpose services on mainland Australia.
🩺 Limited clinical knowledge and treatment options for Benji’s rare leukaemia.
📞 Difficulty finding support services.
💊 Grappling with perceptions that childhood leukaemia has a “cure”.
Australia has a world-class health system. But we can - and should - do better for everyone fighting a rare blood cancer.
Lives are being lost due to incomplete or non-existent formalised national treatment standards available to clinicians, resulting in nationally inconsistent survival outcomes.
Some life-saving novel and specialised haematological therapies are either not available in Australia, or available only to those who can afford them.
Patients living outside of capital cities or on lower incomes are disproportionately affected as their diagnostic, treatment and service options are often already limited.
This inequity is magnified by the underlying unique reality of treating blood cancers – they’re amongst the most expensive cancers to treat, require long treatment periods and have high mortality rates.
On Rare Cancers Awareness Day, now is the moment to invest further in treatments and research to reduce mortality and bridge outcome disparities to achieve consistent, high-quality care for all blood cancer patients, regardless of their postcode.
Australia can do this through:
1️⃣ Embedding genomics as the standard of care through greater public subsidy and investment.
2️⃣ Implementation of Optimal Care Pathways and national clinical guidelines that are currently under development.
3️⃣ Streamlining reimbursement pathways and establishing a ‘Right to Trial’ program to support systematic evidence development.
4️⃣ Developing a national policy for the commissioning, funding and governance of CAR T-cell and other cellular and genetic therapies.
5️⃣ Reforming financial support mechanisms, including patient assisted travel schemes.
6️⃣ Prioritise and facilitate medical research in diseases with high impact (mortality, cost, intensity of treatment) such as blood cancers.

Calum Bryan was working for a drilling company in West Australia, saving to pursue his dream to travel to the UK and Europe.
In February 2022, a little short of his savings target, he was diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma. Shelving his travel plans, he commenced chemotherapy almost immediately.
While undergoing his treatments, Calum had the loving support of his mum Tracey, his dad Mark and his brother Dylan, who dropped everything in New Zealand to take turns to look after him in Perth.
For just over a year, the Leukaemia Foundation provided accommodation at our Stirling Cross Blood Cancer Centre as well as subsidised external accommodation, and additional practical support as the family needed it.
“I think it’s fair to say that at the moment I was diagnosed, my whole world seemed to stop. But the unreal amount of support that came from the Leukaemia Foundation during that time put me and my family at ease.
“They gave me a place to call home by providing accommodation during my period of treatment over a long amount of time. I also made friends with the staff, who I’ll be grateful to for the rest of my life as I was given a second chance.”
Calum is now in remission, living, working and travelling overseas, enjoying his very best life.

We provide practical blood cancer support, and a home away from home.
The Leukaemia Foundation believes everyone in Australia deserves access to the knowledge, support and care they need when facing a blood cancer diagnosis.
Over the phone and online in nearly 40 virtual support groups and webinars, Our Health Services and Living Well teams are ready to help anyone affected by blood cancer.
At the heart of our practical services are the 30-strong team of Blood Cancer Support Coordinators. With a range of specialist backgrounds, the team offers practical support and easy to understand information to help those impacted by blood cancer navigate daily life.
When people live in a rural or regional area and are diagnosed with blood cancer, they often need to travel to a city hospital at very short notice, uprooting their lives and families for weeks or months to commence treatment.
This is why we offer free or subsidised accommodation to help relieve the stress and financial burden of attending treatment. We also provide transport vouchers so people can access their treatments.
Overwhelmingly, patients who accessed this support simply had no other option to get there.
What’s more, over a third of blood cancer patients reside in Australia’s most socioeconomically disadvantaged areas. With the ever-increasing cost of living, there’s been a corresponding increase in demand for financial support.
Our latest Philanthropy Impact Report showcases our work across practical services, patient advocacy and our investment in cutting edge research over the last financial year.

👶 Little Alex is cheeky, full of energy and loves playing cars with his dad.
He lives with his parents, Breeanna and Kyle, and their two dogs in the regional VIC town of Shepparton.
🩸 But at just 21-months-old, Alex was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL).
For the next 11 months, hospital became Alex’s whole world.
Like so many regional families who receive a blood cancer diagnosis, young Alex and his mum needed to urgently relocate to a major city for Alex's treatment.
It wasn’t cheap to stay near the hospital in Melbourne, and the family quickly used up their savings.
Breeanna had to give up work to care for Alex, and Kyle stayed home to continue working - which was extremely hard for Alex.
🗣️ “We relied on Kyle working and our savings for the first month or two. After that, the more we weren't able to work, the more it put pressure on us.”
Fortunately, Breeanna found out about accommodation run by the Leukaemia Foundation from a social worker.
Very shortly afterwards, the family moved into a two-bedroom apartment close to the hospital.
"It was a relief because we didn't have to try to find all the money to pay for the accommodation. Without that, we definitely would’ve struggled.
“Without the Leukaemia Foundation accommodation, we couldn't have had the comfort of our own space for so long without worrying about extra costs of living.”
Kyle was also able to visit the hospital regularly as the Leukaemia Foundation provided petrol vouchers, reuniting father and son 💙
Right now, we’re seeing more and more families requesting support for the severe financial pressures of blood cancer.
Blood cancer is among the most costly cancers to treat due to high hospitalisation and pharmaceutical costs 🩺
These costs increase for families living in rural, regional, and remote Australia, who need to relocate to be close to treatment.
Life-saving care shouldn't cost your life savings.

The Australian Red Cross Lifeblood needs more than 1.7 million donations every year to meet the demand for blood and blood products. Part of this demand comes from the 140,000 Australians currently living with blood cancer.
That's why our Social Media Manager Jack conquered his fear, for a fourth time 👏
🗣️ “Honestly, I’m really scared of needles. But I love a good party pie and, of course, helping those who are fighting blood cancers along with other diseases and needs.
“It only took me seven minutes in the chair to donate eight percent of my blood volume, which’ll go on to literally save multiple lives. That’s bloody beautiful!
“Meeting Gary Shaw, who was half-way through his 640th donation and has donated since he was 18-years-old, has inspired me to try and get down to the Brisbane Donor Centre more often.”
Blood donations are literally lifesaving for those with blood cancers such as leukaemia, lymphoma and myeloma.
An average blood cancer patient needs 18 people to donate blood every month, with the average treatment time of approximately eight months - but it can last for years.

🩸 When Giles saw doctors and nurses standing around him, he knew something was wrong.
Welcoming their baby daughter Maddie, Giles and wife Jacqui never expected to be in the emergency department a week after her birth in 2020.
It was then he was told he had leukaemia.
🗣️ "I was experiencing intense pain almost everywhere, having strange and worrying reactions (including anaphylaxis), night sweats and felt extremely fatigued."
Giles had recently completed the 2019 Melbourne Marathon while experiencing those symptoms 🏃
“It was very stressful juggling a newborn, feeling really unwell and going through band-aid treatment as more effective treatment was delayed due to uncertainty around COVID-19."
Two years later Giles entered remission, and, with a weakened immune system, he decided to fully focus on his health with the aim to return to work by mid-2023.
This week is Men's Health Week 👨👨👦
Giles' story is a pertinent reminder for all men to prioritise their health and listen to their bodies when something doesn't feel right.
Blood cancer can happen to anyone, anytime, anywhere and it's unpreventable.
Men are more likely to delay medical visits when blood cancer symptoms occur, and not seek support as readily throughout their treatment and post-treatment compared to women.
We strongly encourage all men impacted by blood cancer to seek support through our wrap-around health services 💙
Giles said the Leukaemia Foundation’s Blood Cancer Support Coordinators were an immense help during his treatment.
"They were always very familiar with my personal circumstances and played a massive role through the twists and turns of my patient journey. I feel incredibly grateful to these amazing people."

Our cause
We stand with Australia to help cure and conquer every blood cancer – with care.
Your blood is a remarkable thing. It keeps you alive by giving your body what it needs, taking away what it doesn’t and fighting off infection.
But more than 110,000 people in Australia are living with the devastating impact of blood cancer and it’s one of the biggest causes of cancer death. It’s a cancer of your blood and immune systems, preventing them from doing what they need to keep you alive and healthy. Blood cancer develops in the places of your body where blood is made, but its exact cause is unknown.
A range of things affect someone’s chance of surviving blood cancer and, it can be incurable. There are many different types of blood cancer and together they are among the most prevalent and deadly cancers in Australia today. The most common types of blood cancer are called lymphoma, leukaemia and myeloma.
