This year, Vicky is asking for something special for her birthday: a donation to Thalassaemia and Sickle Cell Australia.

Thalassaemia and sickle cell anaemia are genetic haemoglobin disorders affecting the production of red blood cells. These are lifelong conditions requiring regular transfusions and treatment. However, the effect is not only physical but psychosocial and can affect the whole family.

Thalassaemia and Sickle Cell Australia works hard to help improve the lives of those affected with thalassaemia, sickle cell anaemia and other related genetic blood disorders. Every donation to TASCA makes a huge difference in impacting individuals affected by these conditions.

Your support will help us continue our work of providing vital equipment to patients, support programs for families as well as raising awareness and advocating for the community.

There is so much more that can be done and your support will make that possible.
