Our history

During the early 1970s, life for leukaemia patients, their families and medical staff was very different to what it is today. In 1975, the Holland Park Lions Club in Brisbane took up the challenge to improve their quality of life and provide medical care, patient support, research and education for patients, families and nursing staff. They formed the Lions Leukaemia Foundation.

Our achievements

From fundraising to obtain a vital piece of medical equipment for the Brisbane Mater Hospital to supporting patients and families in every state and territory, investing millions into vital research and running one of Australia 's largest fundraising events, the Leukaemia Foundation has grown to become a leader in haematology world wide.
