Leukaemia program launched at surf club

The Leukaemia Foundation's Young Bloods program was launched at Umina Beach Surf Life Saving Club on October 18.

Young Bloods gives children, adolescents and young adults who are affected by a blood cancer diagnosis access to support.

The program provides physical, psychosocial and educational support to people aged 25 and younger, helping them overcome life-changing circumstances caused by blood cancer.

Until now, it was only available in Sydney.

It is supported by a $65,000 grant from Newcastle Permanent Charitable Foundation.
