HOW YOUR GIFT CREATES CHANGE
Three pathways to a cure
Every dollar you give this tax time funds one of three critical priorities for the myeloma community.
Greater awareness
People with myeloma consult an average of three specialists before getting a correct diagnosis. Earlier recognition saves lives and reduces suffering. A national GP and community education program can change that.
Access to treatment
Many Australians cycle through older, less effective treatments before accessing the therapies that could give them more time. Reforming PBS access means better outcomes for all, not just the lucky few.
Research funding
World-leading researchers estimate a coordinated national investment of $100 million could find a cure. Your gift funds the clinical trials, data collection and investigator-led science that gets us there.
