A Brief History
Cure Cancer Australia Foundation has come to stand for integrity, excellence, and success in research. Since 1967, the Foundation has been a front-line source of funding for innovative, ground-breaking cancer and leukaemia research projects.
To date, over $10 million has been allocated to individual research projects. Untold thousands of lives have been saved around the world as a consequence of the knowledge gained and the treatments developed from Cure Cancer Australia's research programs.
how it began
Both Leo & Jenny died of leukaemia and their families established trusts to fight leukaemia and cancer by raising funds to support research and treatment programs. Out of these simple but inspired beginnings grew the Leo & Jenny Leukaemia and Cancer Foundation, now Cure Cancer Australia Foundation, which has many loyal donors who have supported us since 1967.
