as part of the AusCord network of cord blood banks in Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane, the BMDI Cord Blood Bank, banked its 10,000th cord blood unit in 2011, providing potential ‘ready to use’ transplant tissue for patients needing a bone marrow, stem cell or cord blood transplant who are

unable to be matched with a suitable donor.

Up to 9000 Australians are diagnosed each year with blood cancers or other related diseases, many requiring a transplant.

the BMdi Cord Blood Bank, in association with Murdoch Childrens Research Institute, the Royal Children’s Hospital, and Ronald McDonald House Charities Melbourne, was established in 1997 honouring robbie Lodder, who passed away aged 11 in 1991 after a battle with Chronic Myeloid

Leukaemia.

through the BMdi Cord Blood Bank, Fight Cancer Foundation’s mission of giving hope and saving lives provides a second chance of life for patients in australia and overseas who require a transplant.

the Cord Blood Stem Cell Research Laboratory was established in 2008 as the research arm of the Cord Blood Bank. the prime aim of this group is to undertake research into improving the use and understanding of cord blood stem cells for cellular therapies. this type of translational research brings

together basic science with clinical outcome.

With cord blood transplantation increasingly being used as a frontline therapy for both children and adults with haematological malignancies and other blood or metabolic disorders, being able to prospectively select the best cord blood units for transplant patients will potentially benefit all patients

undergoing cord blood transplant in the future.

STAyING CONNECTED WITH SCHOOL AND FRIENDS IS IMPORTANT AND GIvES A REAL SENSE OF PURPOSE AND HOPE FOR THE FUTURE.

each year more than 600 australian children are diagnosed with cancer – many of whom are students. treatment and recovery can result in months and possibly years away from school. Staying connected with school and friends is important and gives a real sense of purpose and hope for the future.

now, in its seventh year, the Back on Track program provides support to school-aged children living with cancer and allows them to stay in touch with their schools and friends.

as experienced school teachers, the Back on track coordinators work with families and schools to develop support plans that meet

the educational, social and welfare needs of the students and assist with their transition back to full time schooling.

Students who have benefited from Back on track come from all educational institutions, varying from large city schools to remote rural communities. the program is tailored to suit the individual needs and circumstances of each student.

Schools and families report that the program coordinators are able to understand and deal with the many issues that arise due to cancer treatment and absences from school.

Cancers of the blood, leukaemias, lymphomas and multiple myeloma, affect people of all ages and are the third largest cause of cancer death in australia. Currently, most chemotherapy is toxic and not curative. translation of research is needed to create

better clinical outcomes.

The Royal Melbourne Hospital has a longstanding commitment to research and clinical care of blood cancer. as hosts of the largest bone marrow transplantation service in Victoria, they perform approximately 80 transplants annually. The Bone Marrow Research Laboratories, with the support of the Fight Cancer Foundation, have provided valuable insights over two decades into the

underlying causes of blood cancers.

in our newly established ACRF Translational Haematology Laboratory, we plan to utilise basic science knowledge by applying this to samples from patients, in order to create

new pathways of treatment.

With the generous support of the Fight Cancer Foundation, we will establish the first Phd student in translational haematology. the $200,000 grant provided by the Fight Cancer Foundation will provide a stipend for the scholar and will also be used for the ongoing support of haematology research in

the laboratory.

this important research is a collaboration between The Royal Melbourne Hospital, The Walter and Eliza Hall Institute of Medical Research and The University of Melbourne, and is a significant project of the newVictorian Comprehensive Cancer Centre.

the Australian Bone Marrow Donor Registry has more than 174,000 potential donors registered, and is a part of Bone Marrow Donors Worldwide that lists more than 10 million potential donors and allows

australian patients to search international registries for the most suitable donors.

TheAustralianBoneMarrowDonorRegistrywasestablished in1990 inconjunctionwith theFightCancer Foundation (formerly the Bone Marrow donor institute) to help people diagnosed with leukaemia or other life threatening blood disorders and has provided a second chance of life to 2,544

patients unable to find a bone marrow match within their family.

Research continues to further the application of bone marrow and cord blood transplants with the expectation that these vital stem cells may radically reform the treatment of many other life

threatening illnesses.

BMDI Rotary House in north Melbourne provides accommodation to families, many with the patient

undergoing a bone marrow transplant and requiring lengthy stays close to the the royal Melbourne and royal Children’s hospitals.

during the year BMdi rotary house was a “home away from home” to 50 families for an average 4-6 months. the house received a welcome refurbishment with painting, new carpets and replacement furniture.

John Opie House in hobart was home to 230 patients and carers during 2011. Furnishings were updated in each room, providing comfortable and affordable accommodation.

our vision to provide cancer patients and their families with a caring and supportive sanctuary, and assist with better health outcomes, continues as we work towards providing more affordable accommodation centres throughout australia closetomajortreatinghospitals.

We congratulate our Volunteer of the Year Mrs Moya Hughes, Manager of the Fight Cancer Foundation Drysdale Recycle Shop.

Moya has managed the shop for 14 years and has developed a great rapport with customers and other volunteers. She moved to drysdale from Bendigo more than 16 years ago and shortly after lost her beloved

husband harry, to cancer.

“once you’ve lost someone through cancer, you feel you want to give something back,” said Moya. “i’ve found friendship and comfort with the wonderful women who volunteer for the Foundation and i love chatting with customers. When you meet people whose troubles are worse than your own, it grounds you. it is very gratifying to know how the help you give others through your work is appreciated. i think

I’mprettyluckyandenjoywhatIdo.”

We greatly appreciate Moya’s dedication and valuable contribution.

Volunteers are an important part of the Fight Cancer Foundation and we sincerely thank all of our volunteers for their support in our branches, recycle shops, support groups, events, accommodation centres and

our office.

the contribution by these caring members of the community enriches our charity with a diverse range of skills, life experience and insight and we acknowledge the time and effort that is given to the fight against cancer.
