Cancer is a disease that affects us all in one way or another. One in two of us will be diagnosed with cancer by the age of 85. 

One in two is too many. But together, we can help change that. 

By donating to Cancer Council Victoria today, you can help fund the innovative cancer research and clinical trials that could transform the way we diagnose, treat and ultimately cure cancer.

“I saw the sign, ‘cancer ward’ and I was freaking out.” – Imogen, aged 10

Diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia, at just10 years old Imogen knows more about cancer than any child should ever have to. 

“My first night at the hospital, I just couldn’t think straight. It was all a blur. I was just like, leukaemia? Cancer? What does that all mean?”

Imogen’s life became a whirlwind of tests, surgeries and treatments. She spent nine months in a wheelchair after experiencing necrosis (bone death) due to her treatment. She’s also lost her hair twice: “I was sad to lose it the second time because it took a long time to grow. But being bald makes me feel strong because it shows what I’m going through and that I’m fighting a battle and I’m winning.

Imogen still has a long way to go. She’ll be spending the next six months on daily chemotherapy. 

“I’ve got a battle ahead of me, but I can do it. And I’m almost at the finish line.”

By supporting cancer research today, you can help drive the innovations in treatment and care that could transform the lives of more people like Imogen tomorrow.
