Assalamu Alaykum Friend,

We're excited (and determined!) to share with you our annual initiative for Cancer.

It is our way of doing our part for brothers and sisters facing cancer in the Muslim community.

For their families and loved ones. For the ones they leave behind if they pass away and the grief they have to endure, often in immense financial hardship.

And for cancer patients themselves if they are alive in the here and now.

Cancer is a leading cause of death in Australia, and causes the deaths of many of our brothers and sisters in Islam. The impacts of cancer go beyond just physical illness and the patient.

Our work on the ground has shown us the immense mental health challenges cancer creates - not only for patients but also the stress and challenges faced by their family and loved ones.

There is no doubt that cancer's broad impact on Muslims here at home requires a community to help survive and support those most in need.
