You are invited to help create a $100,000 fund which will be used as a dollar match on Cancer Research Giving Day in February! 

As one of our most generous donors, you are invited to amplify your impact.  

The way that you can help raise significantly more funds is by accepting this invitation to donate to a ‘dollar match fund’. It is a different form of support, and one that will double your personal impact. 

Our aim is to raise $100,000 before December 31. It is a bold ambition.  

The funds raised today will be pooled together into a ‘dollar match fund’ and used on Cancer Research Giving Day on February 6th 2024. Using this ‘dollar match fund’, we will give other supporters the opportunity to double their impact.  Dollar matches are a proven and powerful incentive to entice more people to donate.

Dollar matches produce some absolutely outstanding lifts in public generosity. 

That is why you are being invited to donate an extra generous gift by December 31. 

Please accept our special invitation to help create our $100,000 dollar match fund. By supporting Cancer Council in this way, you can personally boost cancer research funding by two times the value of your own gift. Most importantly, you will help get new treatments for cancer to people in our community who need them.

The only way that will happen is through more research. 

Like most other proud mums, Natalie talks about her son Kane all the time. But unlike other mums, she’s not talking about his latest triumph on the cricket pitch, or what he’s got on his Christmas wish list. 

Natalie talks about Kane dying of cancer.

We urgently need your help to save precious young lives.

Kane was diagnosed with a rare form of lymphoma when he was 12 years old. Tragically, Kane’s cancer was aggressive, and he died two weeks after his 13th birthday.  

Natalie and her husband, Rick, don’t have any other children and Kane’s death has changed both of them forever. Their hearts are broken and can never be mended. 

But now Natalie is telling Kane’s story to help raise money for research, and to prevent other parents from having their children die of cancer.  

Because of you, we have continued helping people impacted by cancer. But, if researchers are to change the outcome for millions of Australians, we need your support now more than ever. 

Dr Belamy Cheung is leading a group of researchers who have discovered a new protein, MYCN, which is partly responsible for some types of neuroblastoma. These amazing researchers were then able to identify a new pathway for how this protein works. 

And the great news is that because of these discoveries, Dr Cheung and her team have now developed a potential new treatment approach that could slow down and stop the growth of neuroblastoma. 

The project will hopefully lead to much-needed clinical trials and potentially a reliable and effective treatment for this devastating children’s cancer. The ultimate goal is for all children diagnosed with neuroblastoma to survive and live well with fewer long-term side-effects from treatment
