Lucas Marchio Fund
The Lucas Marchio Fund was established to benefit a young boy named Lucas, who has neuroblastoma, a severe childhood cancer. Neuroblastoma is the most common solid tumour cancer in children under five.
Like other children with neuroblastoma, Lucas is currently undergoing various forms of treatment in Australia for his illness, including oxygen therapy and chemotherapy. To date, the treatment in Australia is expensive and often of limited benefit.
Treatments at the Royal Children’s Hospital in Melbourne, in the United States and Germany have proven effective in treating cases of neuroblastoma. Lucas urgently requires this expensive treatment. However, as Lucas’s family do not have the financial resources to pay for this life saving treatment.
If you would like to assist Lucas and his family please send a completed donation form, found under related downloads section on this page, with either a cheque or money order to:
