Last year we provided 114 families with a #free short #break away thanks to very generous people who donate time at their #HolidayHome each year.
We are looking for people to donate time at their #holiday homes. As an #accommodation provider, all you need to do is tell us when and how often you would like to donate your property and we organise the rest. #CancerSupport

Today’s #WorldHealthDay is shining a light on #depression. It's normal to feel upset, angry or anxious if you or someone you love is diagnosed with #cancer. Having someone to #talk to makes a huge difference to your mental #wellbeing during difficult times. You can chat to a supportive #CancerNurse like Katherine by calling 13 11 20, Monday - Friday 9am to 5pm.

We'd like to say thank you to the amazing #Wyndham community. Last weekend an impressive 1,944 people took part in #WyndhamRelayForLife, and due to daylight savings – roamed the track for an epic 25 hours!
An incredible $235,000 has been raised so far for #CancerCouncilVictoria – and we couldn’t be more grateful. We’re so lucky to have such dedicated and hardworking supporters helping us prevent cancer, empower patients and save lives.

#BowelCancer is the second most common #cancer in the #Victorian #Aboriginal community. Cancer Council Victoria is committed to closing the gap by working with the community to increase #BowelCancerScreening rates. One of the many projects we run is the comedy performance #Flushed with Denise McGuiness, which shares the importance of #BowelScreening using humour.

We’re calling on terminally ill patients and their family members to take part in a study exploring medical decision-making. Participation involves taking part in a face-to-face, telephone or Skype interview (around an hour), at a convenient time and location.

How have you been bold for change? Today we celebrated #IWD by hearing how some of our leaders and guest speaker Dr Jackie King from VicHealth have been involved in change that’s had an impact on #CancerControl and/or #GenderEquity. #BeBoldForChange #InternationalWomensDay

A big thank you to all our amazing #MelbourneVictory #fundraisers who made #VictoryAgainstCancer 2017 our most successful one yet! Together, over $50,000 was raised - almost double last year. These funds will go towards a promising research study into #MelanomaTreatment.
Congratulations to those that won themselves a place on the pitch with #ArchieThompson, and for a brilliant victory against the All Stars team for a third year in a row!
