CHRISTMAS FOR A CURE
In 2022, it is estimated that over 65,000 Australians will be diagnosed with a gastro-intestinal or rare cancer and that more than 22,000 will lose their fight for survival.
With Christmas around the corner, we have put together simple ways that you can support patient-centred clinical trials and projects that aim to improve survival rates and outcomes for patients and families impacted by these devastating diseases.
​
Can we count on you to help us find a cure this Christmas?
​
The best gifts are hard to find, and so are research breakthroughs. That’s why this Christmas, we’re asking you to give a gift of life-saving research to the 65,000 Australians diagnosed with a gastro-intestinal or a rare cancer this year.
Our mission is to ensure that one day soon, families everywhere can celebrate Christmas without the fear of pancreatic, gastro-intestinal or rare cancers. Each gift will empower researchers to charge at warp speed. They will help fund critical research and revolutionary patient-centred clinical trials, directly benefiting individuals in need. Your support will aid the discovery and implementation of innovative and individualised treatments and therapies, improving outcomes and survival rates, today and into the future.
If you are diagnosed with pancreatic cancer today, the chance that you will still be alive in five years is just 11.5 %. If you are diagnosed with a gastro-intestinal cancer, there is just a 51% chance.
Pancreatic, gastro-intestinal, and rare cancers are difficult to diagnose, and treatment options are limited —and this has not changed much for decades.
This Christmas, your gift can work to change that.
