2015 Doorknock Appeal kit preparation
volunteer information
Thousands of Queenslanders are diagnosed with blood cancer each year. Hundreds will lose their lives. It’s why our researchers are working tirelessly to find out more about why it strikes and how to stop it. We’re also there to support those who have been diagnosed already.
We provide somewhere to stay for patients undergoing months of gruelling chemotherapy, sometimes hundreds of miles from their home, as well as information, support and advice at a time when it’s needed the most.
Last year, our Doorknock collectors raised an incredible $760,000.
