Now is your chance

If you've ever watched someone you love face cancer and felt helpless then this is your moment to stop watching and start doing.

Behind every treatment run to Perth from outer metro is a person sitting alone in a waiting room, too exhausted to drive home, too proud to ask for help.

Blue Dot Army has heard the continuous cries for help from the Peel region, and we need your help to fix that.

This Wednesday, be in the room, and help us build something that will change that journey for families in this corridor for good!

Bookings must close Monday 15th June - get your ticket here https://www.trybooking.com/DLUFA
