Lifeline is a national charity, operating 40 centres across Australia, providing those experiencing a personal crisis with access to 24 hour crisis and suicide prevention support. Lifeline receives over 1 million contacts annually; with a phone call to 13 11 14 every 32 seconds. Australians call Lifeline to talk about thoughts of suicide, relationship worries, mental health concerns, loneliness and isolation, loss and grief, abuse and trauma among other issues. During the COVID-19 Pandemic the demand for Lifeline’s services had increased by 30%. The funds we aim to raise for them will ensure that staff and volunteers can cover the phones during peak periods on Friday, Saturday and Sunday evenings when people feel at their most vulnerable and turn to Lifeline. We want to help Lifeline ensure that not one person has to face their darkest moments alone.

Peter Mac is Australia’s only public hospital that’s 100% dedicated to cancer treatement, research and education. It’s also home to Australia’s largest cancer research group. Peter Mac’s commitment to research is based on the belief that treatment informed by research, and research informed by treatment, is the key to progressing better cancer care. Working within the hospital environment means their researchers are uniquely placed to translate research discoveries as quickly as possible into real treatments for cancer patients. Sadly, cancer is a leading cause of death in the community and firefighters and other emergency service workers are overrepresented in the number of cancer cases globally. The funds we raise will help Peter Mac’s dedicated cancer researchers make new breakthroughs and discover more cancer cures.
