Why The Cancer Council of NSW?

Cancer does not discriminate between age, sex, race or status. In NSW in 2002 there were 30,448 new cases of cancer (excluding skin cancers) and 12,338 deaths from cancer. The Cancer Council NSW offers services to those affected by cancer and their families by way of support and information, community education, advocacy, research and fund raising. The Cancer Council receives no direct government funding for their programs and relies on donations to continue their work.

Tania has personally witnessed the work of The Cancer Council NSW and is honoured to be involved in such an important and resourceful charity.
