Luke Brattan
Luke Brattan is a professional footballer star who plays for Macarthur FC in the A League.
He is no stranger to both blood cancer and the Leukaemia Foundation, having shaved his head for World’s Greatest Shave three times! After multiple teamups with the Leukaemia Foundation, we now welcome him as a National Ambassador.
Luke’s sister, Holli-Mia, was diagnosed with mixed phenotype acute leukaemia in 2019 – a very rare type of blood cancer where more than one type of leukaemia occurs at the same time.
Since being diagnosed, Holli spent many months in and out hospital receiving treatment. In February 2020, Holli had a successful blood stem cell transplant and thankfully, is now in remission.
Holli is a true superhero. The Leukaemia Foundation is an amazing organisation that provides practical and emotional support to people living with blood cancer wherever they live, including accommodation during treatment, someone to turn to, transport service support to medical appointments and access to the best care and treatment.
Luke has made over 200 A-League appearances, having played for Brisbane Roar, Melbourne City and Sydney FC over his 13-year career in the Australian topflight. He has won four A-League Championships, three Premiers Plates, and an FFA Cup.
Luke has also lost a close friend to blood cancer and is passionate about raising blood cancer awareness and fundraising for the Leukaemia Foundation.
