Every day, more than 2,400 of our neighbours, family and friends walk through the doors of the Canberra Region Cancer Centre. Among them is Madhu Kalia, a beloved mother, keen community volunteer and long-time donor to the Canberra Hospital Foundation (CHF). Madhu is now facing ovarian cancer with the same selfless spirit that has defined her life, asking only one question:
“How soon can the next discovery arrive for the next patient?”
You can help answer her call.
A gift to support CHF’s Deborah Rolfe AM Perpetual Grant for Research fuels world-class research happening right here in the ACT. From earlier detection tools to clinical trials for patients with no other options and personalised treatments for the hardest-to-treat cancers, your donation drives the breakthroughs that turn fear into hope.
- $50 could help scientists develop technology to spot hidden cancers earlier, giving families precious time.
- $100 could open the door to local clinical trials, so Canberrans don’t have to travel interstate for cutting-edge care.
- $250 could fund research that delivers more effective therapies for people like Madhu.
Because the grant is perpetual, every dollar you give keeps working, year after year, helping researchers turn today’s ideas into tomorrow’s standard of care.
With 30 June fast approaching, your tax-deductible gift can create twice the impact: a saving for you and a lifeline for someone you care about.
Visit canberrahospitalfoundation.org.au or call (02) 512 43542 to make a tax-deductible donation today. Together, we can ensure that families across Canberra and the surrounding region receive the latest, most hopeful treatments, right when they need them most.
Your kindness today means more survivors tomorrow. Thank you for keeping groundbreaking cancer research close to home.
