Cut the Cost of Cancer

I remember when cancer was a disease common amongst the elderly only. Many Grandparents (including my own Grandma) sadly died at the hands of this devastating disease.
When I was young, cancer seemed to be confined to the elderly. Now, it's not uncommon to hear of young adults, children and even babies battling it. The word 'cancer' now sends a shiver down the back of everyone - parents, uncles, aunties, children and grandparents. We all now know that we're not immune, and neither are our young children and babies.

Australia's Biggest Morning Tea is happening later this month and is a great opportunity to come together with people who have been affected by the disease and who are determined to make a difference to the future of cancer research and treatment. Many people are holding large events, inviting everyone while others are organising smaller, social gatherings.

Whichever way you choose to commemorate and participate in this event, you're personally making a difference. Every dollar raised helps our children live without the threat of cancer at any age, in any situation and for any reason.
