Your support makes you vital part of cancer treatment research team

WITH an estimated 145,000 new cases of cancer diagnosed in Australia this year, and that number set to rise to 150,000 by 2020, The Cancer Council needs your help this Daffodil Day to ensure cancer research can continue and help save more lives.

How your money helps:
$25 – can help equip the ground-breaking researchers with the essential chemicals and lab equipment they need to conduct their life-saving work.
$50 – can help pay for the collection and processing of a blood sample that will enable us to discover more about how cancer develops.
$100 – can pay for the collection, storage and analysis of human DNA to use in studies into how they can better prevent cancer.
$250 – can pay a lab assistant for a day to support a researcher with vital laboratory testing. Research labs need all the bright minds they can get – and your support makes you a vital part of the team.
$500 – can support a clinical trial of new cancer treatments, giving hope to cancer patients and maybe even saving lives.
Without clinical trials and your support, new cancer treatments would not be available to those who need them most.
