Blood cancer doesn’t stop for anything.

Cameron’s blood cancer diagnosis came out of the blue – at the worst possible time.

The 32-year-old and his wife Mykayla were busy bringing up their one-year-old daughter Penny and preparing for the arrival of their second, Addison, when Cameron found out he had Burkitt’s lymphoma.

Suddenly, they were thrust into a foreign world of hospitals, chemotherapy and debilitating side effects. To make things even worse, the life-saving treatment Cameron needed was in Adelaide, two hours away from his home in Port Pirie.

Cameron feared he would have to leave family behind and spend Christmas alone to get the care he needed.

Please help provide families like Cameron’s with the accommodation and support they need to fight blood cancer together.

Thankfully, accommodation was available for Cameron’s family at the Leukaemia Foundation Bridgestone Blood Cancer Centre near his hospital in Adelaide.

That meant Mykayla could be by his side as his pain and blood cancer symptoms worsened. It meant he could receive regular visits – and lots of cuddles and kisses – from Penny.

And it meant he could be there to hold his newborn baby girl Addison when she arrived while the family were staying at Leukaemia Foundation accommodation.

Having his family by his side gave Cameron the strongest possible reason to get through his treatment – and get better.

Your generous gift this Christmas can help keep families together – and provide them with the support they need to fight blood cancer.

Please give today, so no one has to face blood cancer alone this festive season.

At age 14, Siobhan was told that she had blood cancer –she was overwhelmed with big emotions.

Siobhan was terrified about what the future held. She felt waves of anger and sadness. She even felt embarrassed and ashamed, because her treatment made her hair fall out and her body change beyond recognition.

There are so many thoughts and feelings for people to process after their diagnosis. Today, you can make sure that they don’t have to struggle alone.

Please will you give a gift, so people like Siobhan can have support to cope with the big emotions of blood cancer – whether they’re feeling ashamed about their illness or fearful about their future?

Siobhan’s diagnosis left her in a dark place – literally. “I just wanted to stay in my room with the curtains closed,” she says. “But then I started speaking to Maryanne, my Blood Cancer Support Coordinator.”

These health professionals are specially trained to offer emotional support – but they can only be there with your help.

“Without Maryanne, I would have been in a much worse mental state,” continues Siobhan. “She helped me process my emotions, so I no longer felt ashamed and I started feeling much more positive about the future.”

More funds are urgently needed for Blood Cancer Support Coordinators, so please will you give a gift now? You can help people like Siobhan navigate the big emotions of blood cancer – and find their way to a bright future beyond.
