We have taken a stand against blood cancer.
Chappo is in incredibly good hands thanks to the amazing staff, facilities and technology available to him while fighting Leukaemia. Of course, there is also fantastic work ongoing to further improve treatments and outcomes for leukaemia patients and this we think, we can all agree is a fantastic cause to support.
We don't have a specific target for the Chappo’s Chaps initiative, but we like the sound of $19,200. Why? According to the Leukaemia Foundation in Australia, $19,200 will fund 12 months worth of laboratory costs for a research project to discover better treatments for blood cancer. So let’s get together and see if Chappo’s Chaps can fund some worthy cancer beating research!
*Due to overwhelming support we have updated our goal to $100,000!
With your hardwork, selflessness and incredible care, $100,000 raised means that two whole years of an entire 3 year PhD scholarship can be funded. These brilliant PhD research scientists are working to discover the next great breakthroughs in understanding and treating blood cancer.
That's two years of carefully selected, advanced research to find better ways to identify, mitigate and treat blood cancers. Two years closer to achieving the bold goal of zero lives lost to blood cancer by 2035.
Your fundraising gives hope!
We are fundraising to help the 47 Australians who will know that they have blood cancer by the end of today — and for the 47 families who will face the same devastating news tomorrow.
We have created this page to raise vital funds to help provide the special care that is needed to get families through a blood cancer diagnosis as well as to help fund more game-changing research into this disease.
The money we raise will help provide care for those in need right now — and it will back the brightest researchers to continue uncovering faster diagnoses and better treatments to save lives.
Please show us your support by donating to our fundraising campaign.
By supporting us, you will help provide services that will ease the emotional and financial burden that Aussie families feel as they face the daily challenges of blood cancer.
These services include providing free accommodation close to life-saving treatment, transport to and from hospital for someone too sick to drive, and one-on-one emotional support from experts.
Will you help us reach our goal?
Together, we can give hope to families touched by blood cancer.
A big thank you to our Supporters
