Featuring
Join thousands at our inspiring Light the Night event this September and October. Light a gold balloon to remember a loved one, white to celebrate being a survivor or blue to give hope to people with leukaemias, lymphomas, myeloma and related blood disorders.
From supporting an event like Light the Night, or becoming a volunteer driver, there are many ways you can support our Vision to Cure and Mission to Care.
It's easy to join our regular telephone forums to talk to others who have blood cancers and related blood disorders. |
About us
The Leukaemia Foundation is the only national organisation dedicated to the care and cure of patients and families living with leukaemias, lymphomas, myeloma and related blood disorders. We have offices in every state and territory across Australia.
Our Vision to Cure
We fund vital research into better treatments and cures. More than $5.8 million has been pledged to research over the past two years.
Our Mission to Care
We support patients and families by providing cost-free services including patient transport to and from treatment, fully-furnished accommodation located near major hospitals for regional and rural patients, counselling, emotional support, disease education, and practical support.
How we are supported
We receive no ongoing government funding, and rely on the generous support of our corporate supporters and the community. All donations are gratefully accepted.
