🏃♀️ There’s still time to support us in Can Do The Distance! 💚
The challenge concluded on 31 August, but donations close tomorrow at 11:59pm, so there’s still time to show your support.
Our fundraisers across NSW clocked up more than 3,000km together throughout the month — going the distance for country cancer patients. 🛣️
On behalf of our branch, a huge thank you to every fundraiser, donor and member of our community who helped us do the distance this August. 🫶
👉 Head to www.candothedistance.org.au, select our branch and make a donation.
Save the date for 2027! 🎉Registrations open in July.

Include a Charity Week is a national Australian campaign encouraging people to think about the causes they care about and consider leaving a gift to charity in their Will.
But what does leaving a gift in your Will actually involve? What can you leave? Does it have to be a large amount? And what about your loved ones?
Swipe through to learn more about gifts in Wills and how you can leave a lasting legacy for people affected by cancer in country NSW.

🔎 What do cancer specialists do every day to look after their own health?
We came across some interesting insights from three cancer specialists and thought they were worth sharing. While there’s no guaranteed way to prevent cancer, understanding the factors that can influence cancer risk can help us make informed choices about our health.
And if you or someone you love is diagnosed with cancer, Can Assist is here to help with practical and financial support to make accessing cancer care a little easier.
