Daniel's Bar Mitzvah

By Simon Cohen

I’m fundraising for Cancer Council Victoria to help stop cancer.

Every year more than 35,000 Victorians hear the words ‘you have cancer’. My own relatives have been diagnosed with testicular, prostate, breast, and skin cancer (including melanoma). Some are in remission and others still being monitored and treated.  It is real and close to home and important for me to support instead of gifts for my Bar Mitzvah. 

Thanks in part to generous Victorians, 7 in 10 of them will survive five years after a cancer diagnosis, but there’s still so much work to be done.

Cancer Council needs our support more than ever this year. Every dollar raised gives hope for a cancer free future. By supporting my Bar Mitzvah fundraising, you’re funding life-saving cancer treatments, prevention programs, and support services that ensure no one has to face cancer alone.
