Hi supporter,

As we approach the festive season, I'm reminded that all across Australia, for a variety of reasons, families are unable to spend Christmas together.

This could have been the case for Leni's family, but thanks to the generous support of people like you we were able to provide them with a home while Leni received life-saving cancer treatment during the 2018 Christmas season.

Read more of Leni's story below, and please give generously this Christmas to help families fighting cancer.

Kind regards,

Eric Wright
Managing Director

LENI'S STORY OF HOPE

Eight year old Leni’s cancer started quietly. Sore legs. A temperature. Just feeling a bit ‘off’.

It was only when the violent vomiting started that her parents, Kellie and Leigh, began to fear something worse than ‘a bug going around’.

Soon, doctors confirmed every parent’s worst fear - Leni had blood cancer. Her treatment was aggressive and long, with Leni spending almost a year in hospital.

THE CLOCK CANCER CHALLENGE

Registrations for The Clock Cancer Challenge are now open!

Fight Cancer Foundation's annual fundraising campaign is a fantastic way to improve your physical and mental well-being while helping Australians fighting blood cancer.

Challenge yourself to a 35 minute workout every day in February and make every workout count by getting your friends and family to donate.

In 2019, Fight Cancer Foundation is celebrating its 30th anniversary. To commemorate, we will be sharing historical milestones in each issue of our E-News.

EXPANDING OUR ACCOMMODATION NETWORK

In 2008, Fight Cancer Foundation expanded our accommodation services by opening a new accommodation centre in Hobart. In 2013, a purpose built centre in Albury–Wodonga followed.

With the addition of these new facilities, we now have 47 rooms or apartments available to seriously ill people from right across Australia each night.

Fight Cancer Foundation's patient accommodation centres provide a comfortable and welcoming home away from home, relieving patients and their families of some of the financial and emotional burden caused by cancer.

We’re proud to now be expanding our Albury–Wodonga centre, which will see the addition of 10 accommodation units, ensuring we are able to meet increasing demand for accommodation services.

Fight Cancer Foundation relies on your support to help people living with cancer and their families.​
