Joining a support group where everyone can share everything they feel with people going through a similar experience can be helpful for you to process everything.
We've collected stories from a selection of people we've worked with over the past 26+ years and hope that you'll find the same inspiration in them all that we did
Your donations, time, ideas and assistance with our fund raising activities and support groups are always welcome. Please get in touch if you feel you have something to offer
Life Force Foundation has been supporting people living with cancer since 1993, when Jilly Pascoe and Caro Jonas began running the very first support group in Sydney's eastern suburbs, and from there it evolved into an integrated supportive care system for all those affected by cancer, with a holistic approach that embraces the whole human being.
Following her own experience of cancer, Jilly Pascoe saw a need for a more balanced approach to cancer care and implemented programs to address the emotional and psychological needs of patients and their families and carers in a non-clinical community setting.
Over the years, Life Force has developed strong professional links and associations with many health professionals and other community organisations involved in the delivery of cancer care and continues to form collaborative partnerships with other stakeholders in the cancer care community.
