“Mireille is an inspiration, over the past three years she has worked tirelessly to honour the work of the Leukaemia Foundation and help raise much needed funds” said Deb Wilkins, Community Relationship Manager for the Leukaemia Foundation.
She has organised three very successful morning teas and two cocktail parties over the last three years, raising more than $53,000.”

All proceeds raised will go to the Leukaemia Foundation.
Another 35 Australians are diagnosed each and every day. Although improved treatments and care are helping more people survive, sadly someone loses their life to blood cancer every two hours. In fact, blood cancer is the third most common cause of cancer death in Australia, claiming more lives than breast cancer or melanoma.
The Leukaemia Foundation is the only national charity dedicated to helping those with leukaemia, lymphoma, myeloma and related blood disorders survive and then live a better quality of life. It exists only because of the generous and ongoing support of the Australian community.
