Make this Christmas brighter—give the gift of hope this holiday season!

Celebrate the season by giving the gift of time and help fund life-saving cancer research to give families like Petrea’s more moments together.

That Christmas, Petrea was heartbroken. A year earlier, she had lost her mum to lung cancer, and now her son was sick. 

By the time he began treatment, the cancer had already spread to his pelvis and another mass had appeared on the side of his neck. Petrea watched on, feeling helpless.

The whole family, together with Alex’s treatment team, rallied together as the chemotherapy ravaged Alex’s body. The treatment was intense and took its toll.

Chances are if Alex was diagnosed ten years ago,

he wouldn’t have survived.

However, because of cancer research, doctors were able to better understand Alex’s cancer and how to treat it. Amazingly, Alex’s last PET scan showed no signs of cancer.

“I believe that because of the money that has gone into cancer research Alex is alive today. And its research that will keep him alive in the future. It’s just so important. We know that there may be more challenges ahead, but because of cancer research, we are hopeful instead of fearful.”

Alex’s cancer was aggressive. While he is in the clear for now, he will continue to need regular check-ups every three months. While Petrea and Alex know his cancer may return, they are hopeful it won’t.

If and when that happens, Petrea believes it’s research that could save his life.

Families like Petrea’s are relying on you to fund cancer research to give them more time with their loved ones.

This Christmas give more than a gift - give hope!  

Will you embrace the gift of giving and keep families like Petrea’s together for more Christmases?
