Lifeline is a national charity, operating 41 centres across Australia, providing those experiencing a personal crisis with access to 24 hour crisis and suicide prevention support. Lifeline receives over one million contacts annually – almost two every minute – from people reaching out with thoughts of suicide, relationship challenges, mental health concerns, loneliness and isolation, loss and grief, abuse, trauma, and more. With it costing $39 to answer a call, $400,000 (40% of the fundrasing target) would help Lifeline Melbourne meet the growing demand for crisis support, helping them answer more than 10,250 additional calls this year. Your support in reaching this goal helps ensure that no call goes unanswered.

Peter Mac is Australia’s only public hospital that’s 100% dedicated to cancer care. It is also home to Australia’s largest cancer research group, with researchers working closely with hospital staff to address the biggest challenges in cancer care today. This unique environment allows researchers to translate their research discoveries into real treatments for cancer patients as quickly as possible. Cancer is a leading cause of death in the community, and firefighters and other emergency service workers are overrepresented in the number of cancer cases globally. The funds we raise will help Peter Mac’s dedicated cancer researchers make new breakthroughs and discover more cancer treatments. The $400,000 (or 40% of funds) raised will ensure that Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre have funds to support their research.
