Why get your Legs Out for Lymphoma?
Every 2 hours another Australian is diagnosed with lymphoma and every 6 hours another life is lost to this cancer.
By signing up to Legs Out for Lymphoma you’re helping provide vital support and awareness to patients and families across Australia. It’s also a chance to get fit, smash a personal goal and have some fun!
The funds raised from Legs Out will help grow our team of lymphoma support nurses. Our nurses are here to help patients and families navigate the health system, access the most up-to-date information about lymphoma and to take the fear of the unknown out of the lymphoma journey.
When you sign up to get your Legs Out you are helping to:
- Fund Lymphoma Care Nurses who meet and support patients and families and educate other nurses and health professionals
- Provide continued support and information for patients via education days, sessions on subtypes, new treatments and how to access clinical trials
- Provide survivorship care and support services for the next stages of life post-cancer
- Enable us to advocate on behalf of patients to ensure medicines are PBS listed, funding is committed to blood cancer trials and research, and that treatment is accessible for all Australians, no matter their location
You might choose to take part to support a loved one or show your support for people affected by lymphoma or CLL. Join us and get your Legs Out this March!
