Leukaemia Foundation

The Leukaemia Foundation was established in Queensland, Australia, in 1975, with the help of hematologist Dr Trevor Olsen and the Holland Park Lions Club.

[2] The Leukaemia Foundation invests millions of dollars per year in blood cancer research aimed at improving treatments and finding a cure.

It also provides aid to thousands of Australians each year by offering services like information, emotional support, and advocacy, as well as educational programs to aid patients with blood diseases, safe transportation to and from hospital treatment.

[citation needed] One of the Leukaemia Foundation's fundraising events is the "World's Greatest Shave", in which participants shave, cut or colour their hair and raise funds to support Australians facing blood cancer.

Every dollar raised will help provide support services to patients and families and keep them together.
