I’ve taken a stand against blood cancer.
Today, more than 50 Australians will be told that they have blood cancer and tomorrow - another 50 families will be devastated by the same news.
I have created this page to raise vital funds to help provide the special care that is needed to get families (and my own mum) through blood cancer as well as to help fund more game-changing research into this disease.
Myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) is rarely ever talked about. All we ever hear about is your more common cancers, Lung cancer, Breast cancer etc. The life expectancy of an MDS cancer patient ranges from about 1.6years to around 5.6 years. This may seem like a lot of years for a cancer patient however, most people with this disease are over the age of 70 when they are diagnosed with MDS. My mum is 53. We have no idea how long we will be blessed with her presence but through donations to research and by spreading awareness, we may find out a better estimate as well as some new treatments. My mum means the world to me and I will do anything I can to try and help her in some way. I wouldn’t wish this upon anyone.
The money I raise will help provide care for those in need right now — it will back the brightest researchers to continue uncovering faster diagnoses and better treatments to save lives just like my beautiful mumma (Caroline).
Please show us your support by donating to my fundraising campaign because every little bit counts.
Thank you,
With love, the MacDonald family 💙
