🗓️ Tumut, put a free skin check in your diary! ☀️🧴

We know early detection is key when it comes to skin cancer, and with melanoma rates among the highest in regional and rural NSW, regular skin checks are especially important for our communities. That’s why we’re so pleased to help bring this important service to Tumut, making it easier for our local community to access a skin check close to home. 💚

This October, the Australian Skin Cancer Foundation’s mobile skin check truck will be visiting Tumut for five days.

It’s been made possible through a wonderful local partnership between Can Assist Tumut, TUMUT HOSPITAL AUXILIARY, Rotary Club of Tumut and Batlow-Adelong Hospital Auxiliary.

🚚 The high-tech mobile clinic will offer free, state-of-the-art 3D skin checking and an onboard biopsy room
📍 The Mobile Skin Check Clinic will be stationed at the rear of Tumut Hospital.
📅 Bookings will open in early October, with more information to come.

Keep an eye on our page for booking details!

🔎 What do cancer specialists do every day to look after their own health?

We came across some interesting insights from three cancer specialists and thought they were worth sharing. While there’s no guaranteed way to prevent cancer, understanding the factors that can influence cancer risk can help us make informed choices about our health.

And if you or someone you love is diagnosed with cancer, Can Assist is here to help with practical and financial support to make accessing cancer care a little easier.

Every Can Assist branch has a story.

Meet Leanne. 👋 Leanne is the face of this year’s Can Do the Distance campaign. And just like so many of us, she’s doing the distance for someone she loves: her sister, Ellie.

Ellie was supported by Can Assist Harden and Young throughout her cancer journey, helping her and her family navigate the 5,000km they travelled for treatment. When Ellie’s cancer returned aggressively, she sadly passed away at just 27 years old.

👟This August, Leanne is walking 270km in Ellie’s memory, taking on 10km for every year of her sister’s life. Ellie was passionate about spreading the word about Can Assist so more country families could find the support they need, and find it earlier. Leanne is carrying that message forward with every kilometre.

Maybe you could be the face of next year’s Can Do the Distance campaign? Or perhaps you know someone whose story deserves to be shared?

There’s still time for our local community to get behind our branch and help raise funds to support people affected by cancer right here in our community. ❤️ Give back locally and donate to our branch today: www.candothedistance.org.au
