ABOUT US

Every Can Assist branch has a story.
Meet Leanne. 👋 Leanne is the face of this year’s Can Do the Distance campaign. And just like so many of us, she’s doing the distance for someone she loves: her sister, Ellie.
Ellie was supported by Can Assist Harden and Young throughout her cancer journey, helping her and her family navigate the 5,000km they travelled for treatment. When Ellie’s cancer returned aggressively, she sadly passed away at just 27 years old.
👟This August, Leanne is walking 270km in Ellie’s memory, taking on 10km for every year of her sister’s life. Ellie was passionate about spreading the word about Can Assist so more country families could find the support they need, and find it earlier. Leanne is carrying that message forward with every kilometre.
Maybe you could be the face of next year’s Can Do the Distance campaign? Or perhaps you know someone whose story deserves to be shared?
There’s still time for our local community to get behind our branch and help raise funds to support people affected by cancer right here in our community. ❤️ Give back locally and donate to our branch today: www.candothedistance.org.au

Armidale and Friends of Can Assist Armidale we cannot wait to see you at one or more of the 8 shows of Calendar Girls at the Playhouse in October. Thank you ADMS for your kind support.We're proud to announce our partnership with Can Assist Armidale!
At the heart of Calendar Girls is community, people coming together to support others in tough times. That’s why ADMS is proud to partner with Can Assist Armidale for this production.
Instead of a traditional program, we are creating a special Calendar Girls calendar featuring our wonderful cast and every dollar of profit from the sale of the calendar will be donated to Can Assist Armidale, supporting local people affected by cancer.
Can Assist is a volunteer-run charity, with funds raised locally staying in our community to help those who need it most. We’re honoured to support their incredible work.
We can’t wait to share the calendar with you at the show and make a real difference together.
Support local theatre. Support local people. Support Can Assist Armidale.
