How your donation helps
Your donation will make a difference to the lives of people living with cancer
As Australia's only public hospital solely dedicated to overcoming cancer, we have the privilege to be closely involved with all our patients, their families and carers. At Peter Mac we get to see the real difference cancer research has on the lives of people living with cancer.
Hear from the people
Meet Zach
"When you get told that there's no set treatment or cure for your cancer because there are not enough funds available to do research on your particular type of cancer, it's an eye opener."
When Zach was diagnosed with a rare type of head and neck cancer he was told that there was no standard pathway through treatment for him. Unfortunately, his cancer is so rare that research simply hasn't found a proven way to treat it yet.
At Peter Mac, there are researchers determined to discover cures for all cancers, including the very rare ones. Chemotherapy has extended Zach's life but he is far from out of the woods with his diagnosis and he remains hopeful that a cure will be found.
Donating could mean lorem ipsum amet si dolor. test
Meet Abbey
"It's just very reassuring to know that people, who might not even be going through cancer themselves or know people going through it, are willing to donate and make a difference."
At just 18, Abbey, a vibrant, fit young woman was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s lymphoma.
But before she could even process that news, Abbey would face another challenge. One of the side effects of her treatment would be the possibility that she could lose her fertility.
A cancer diagnosis is never just about surviving, but how cancer could impact a life for years to come – especially for someone so young. Only with more research, will we be able to reduce the impact cancer has on people like Abbey.
That’s why your support is so critical.
