Help families beat blood cancer.

Over 135,000 Australians are living with blood cancer, with the disease being one of the highest causes of cancer death.

The Leukaemia Foundation is aiming for zero deaths by 2035 — it’s a goal that will take lots of hard work and funds for research into new treatments. Donate your recycling today to help beat blood cancer, or even better set your recycling to auto-donate.

Supporting the fight

The Leukaemia Foundation began in the 1970s as a response to the lack of resources and support for families. Parents weren’t allowed to comfort their children, due to risk of infection, and a lack of facilities for bone marrow transplants meant many died waiting.

Today, with the help of donations, the Leukaemia Foundation reaches nearly 50% of newly diagnosed patients, and invests millions in vital research to discover better treatments and cures. By donating, you’ll be empowering Aussies facing blood cancer to survive and live well.

Meet Haylen

Every container donated raises funds to support and empower the 50 Australians diagnosed with blood cancer every day. Your recycling can make a difference to families like Tiffany’s. At just 3 years old, Haylen, Tiffany’s youngest child of three, was diagnosed with leukaemia.

Living in Toowoomba, a regional town, Haylen was urgently relocated to Brisbane for treatment and the family were offered accommodation at the Leukaemia Foundation’s patient accommodation unit.
