       CLICK HERE TO DONATE TOWARDS A CURE FOR CANCER

MESSAGE FROM THE CEO

"I'm sorry, you have Cancer" - 1.4 million people a year have to hear this news as the search continues to improve prevention, detection and treatment outcomes for patients with cancer.

Research is the key to improving this outlook for cancer patients and their families, and Cure Cancer Australia is dedicated to young cancer researchers working right across the cancer spectrum. One of the key reasons why I was attracted to the Cure Cancer Australia Foundation was the four decade history and the pedigree of the Research we are committed to funding. We play an essential role in the development of young researchers and their quest to stem the spread, and morbidity of Cancer. As donors we can measure this contribution by noting that $50 donated will fund ONE life changing hour of cancer research.

I feel privileged to be part of this team that makes such a difference and I would like to thank Cure Cancer Australia's wonderful supporters for whole heartedly supporting our Vision of a world without cancer, nothing less.

Kind regards
Leanne Warner,
CEO, Cure Cancer Australia Foundation
