Leukaemia Foundation

Evolving from a proud tradition of care dating back to 1975, today the Leukaemia Foundation of Australia extends its support across the entire blood cancer spectrum around the country.

Life for someone diagnosed with leukaemia was hard and there was little support. Treatment meant months of chemotherapy, severe side-effects and isolation from their family to remove the risk of infection. Parents were not allowed to comfort and care for their children, and family had to navigate the psychological challenges alone.
