• The Warwick Foundation. It is the first and only Non-Profit Charitable Organization in Australia focusing on supporting young adults (18-40 years) on their cancer journey. The reality is young adults are the fastest growing demographic among the over 10 million new cancer diagnoses each year worldwide. In fact, cancer is the leading disease killer of young adults. And while there are hundreds of cancer-related organizations in existence today, there are almost none that are strictly focused on meeting the unique needs and issues faced by young adults on their cancer journey. The foundation link patients/survivors and caregivers to form support groups in all areas around Australia. It provides a directory of information/resources and services to suit the needs of young adults on their cancer journey and support rural and regional cancer networks. It support research programs into the needs of young adults with cancer as well as support the establishment of care centres for adolescents and young adults with cancer.
• Mates In My Shoes. Once diagnosed, it’s a journey I must walk, I don’t want to feel like I am alone, I don’t want pity. I want to be treated normal, I need support, I need care, I need strength, I need knowledge, and I need power. This is my fight for life, a battle I need to win. Young adults with cancer often encounter a unique set of issues and challenges. They generally feel isolated and alone or “too young” to have cancer. His/her peers are unlikely to understand cancer, let alone know how to behave or support someone who has it. They are typically just starting careers or families and come across financial struggles during treatment, not being able to work or well enough to care for a young family. Their parents and siblings are often left out of the support process and are left deal with little information and resources. Some are living in regional areas with little resources and support. Most importantly cancer forces many young adults to prematurely face their own mortality.
• A pointed effort to break high-heel record. Melburnians, including well-heeled Baysider Luke Forrest, will on Saturday attempt the ridiculous to break the Guinness World Record. It’s all in the name of charity, of course. The event will see participants run, shuffle or jog down an 80-metre track in heels to raise money for cancer charity the Warwick Foundation, which helps 18 to 40-year-olds with cancer. The Warwick Foundation committee member Belle Evans said she wished she had known of the foundation during her recent battle with breast cancer. “I needed it and didn’t have it – if I did I wouldn’t have had two years of hell on my own,” Ms Evans said. She said she hoped the high heel race would raise awareness for the group. “The program links people with others going through the same thing, or who have gone through it,” Ms Evans said. The project would also fund the group’s Journey Kits.
