YouCan for Youth Cancer
Did you know one in 100 Australians are diagnosed with cancer before the age of 30?
In the last 25 years there has been virtually no improvement in survival outcomes for the 15-30 age group.
Cancer is the biggest disease killer of Australian teenagers.
In Australia your chances of surviving certain cancers decreases by 50% the day you turn 16.
Currently in Australia, if you are diagnosed with cancer over the age of 16, you are treated in the adult health care system.
Teenagers and young adults need specialised care in an age-appropriate environment.
DID YOU KNOW YOU CAN HELP. Just collect any old mobile phones from your family and friends and give it to YouCan.org.au.
The You Can Schools Program gives schools the opportunity to not only help young Australians survive cancer and contribute to a greener planet, it is also an easy way to get amazing educational products for free!
