Forty Years of Hope for Cancer Patients | Australia News

This Saturday marks 40 years of Rise Above, the only charity in Canberra offering life-changing financial, practical, and emotional support to cancer patients. Facing skyrocketing treatment costs and sudden loss of income, patients often must choose between food, fuel, and medicine — a reality Rise Above combats with vouchers, bills, and even fertility preservation. Last year they helped 840 patients, pouring over $712K into essentials like groceries, gas, and meds — plus moments of normalcy that remind patients they’re more than their diagnosis. Celebrate their legacy at their free anniversary event this Saturday — every dollar helps keep hope alive. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
