Legs Out for Lymphoma Walk in Brisbane

Brisbane shines brightly
for the lymphoma cause! Thank you to everyone who joined us in Brisbane at
South Bank for Legs out for Lymphoma. The rain came down but nothing was going
to stop hundreds of lime green warriors finishing this event. A big thank you to
the Shore Restaurant for looking after our very wet but fun group as we made it
to the finish line.

The event raised $22,138
with a special mentioned going to The Bosso family who raised a whopping $12,740
and had their wonderful and huge family there in force on the day, with Will
also being our MC for the day!

thankyou to everyone that came along and to all our amazing volunteers on the
day! See you next year!

Useful Definitions

  • Refractory: This means the lymphoma does not get better with treatment. The treatment didn’t work as hoped.
  • Relapsed: This means the lymphoma came back after being gone for a while after treatment.
  • 2nd line treatment: This is the second treatment you get if the first one didn’t work (refractory) or if the lymphoma comes back (relapse).
  • 3rd line treatment: This is the third treatment you get if the second one didn’t work or the lymphoma comes back again.
  • Approved: Available in Australia and listed by the Therapeutics Goods Administration (TGA).
  • Funded: Costs are covered for Australian citizens. This means if you have a Medicare card, you shouldn’t have to pay for the treatment.[WO7]

You need healthy T-cells to make CAR T-cells. For this reason, CAR T-cell therapy cannot be used if you have a T-cell lymphoma – yet.

Special Note: Although your T-cells are removed from your blood for CAR T-cell therapy, most of our T-cells live outside of our blood – in our lymph nodes, thymus, spleen and other organs.
