Support Blood Cancer Fundraising & Stem Cell Donor Awareness
Every year, Australians with blood cancer rely on strangers to step up – to donate, to fundraise, to spread hope. By getting involved with the TLR Foundation, you’ll support blood cancer fundraising, help recruit stem cell donors, and fund specialist cancer nurses who care for patients through it all. It all starts here.
Your Impact Starts Here
Funds one perpetual nursing scholarship – helping a nurse become a cancer & haematology specialist every two years, forever.

of your donation goes towards overheads – our running costs are covered by board contributions and grants, not your donations.
City2Surf
Running (Well, Mostly Walking) For a Cause
Every year, the TLR Foundation takes part in Sydney’s legendary City2Surf – and 2024 was our biggest year yet. Dozens of passionate supporters walked, ran, and fundraised their hearts out along the 14km stretch from Hyde Park to Bondi. It was a day full of energy, purpose, and community spirit – all to support people being treated for blood cancer. Thanks to our incredible team, donors, and the generous match from the AMP Foundation, we raised over $135,000 through this cancer charity fundraising event. These funds are helping to fund our second perpetual nursing scholarship and recruit more young and diverse potential lifesavers to the Australian stem cell registry. Events like this show the life-changing power of community and generosity.
Blood Cancer Fundraising That Saves Lives
Fundraise your way – and help save lives through blood cancer fundraising. Whether you’re running a marathon, baking cupcakes, or asking for donations instead of birthday gifts – blood cancer fundraising is one of the most powerful ways you can help. Every dollar you raise supports our work recruiting young, diverse stem cell donors and funding specialist cancer nursing scholarships. We can set up a fundraising page for you, and we’re here to help you make it a success. Or you can join us in one of our fundraising events – like Sydney’s City2Surf. Your efforts can directly change someone’s life. With over 20,000 Australians diagnosed with blood cancer each year, the need is urgent. The money you raise helps us recruit more potential donors, support the nurses who care for these patients, and reach more communities with life-saving information. However you choose to get involved – it all makes a difference.
Donate to Our Blood Cancer Causes
Make a one-off or regular donation – and help save lives. Giving a donation is one of the simplest and most powerful ways to support our work. Your gift goes directly into action – helping us recruit new stem cell donors, fund public awareness campaigns, and support nurses specialising in cancer and haematology care. Whether it’s a one-off contribution or a monthly gift, every dollar makes a difference. When you donate to blood cancer causes through the TLR Foundation, you’re funding real change. Your donation will help recruit new stem cell donors, contribute to nursing scholarships, and fuel outreach that brings life-saving information to the right people at the right time. With no government funding and a volunteer-run model, your generosity powers everything we do.

Get Involved – It’s Easy to Help
You don’t need to run a marathon to make a difference – believe us when we say we put the fun in fun-run (and by run, we mostly mean walk). Getting involved is simple, and the impact is life-changing
From making a donation, raising funds at our blood cancer fundraising events, helping us organise stem cell donor recruitment drives, to corporate sponsorships – there are so many ways to help. The most important is by helping us find more 18–35 year olds and spreading the word that donating stem cells is much easier than people think. However you choose to support the TLR Foundation, you’ll be giving hope to people with blood cancer who need it most – and helping the nurses who care for them.
