Helping Australian families
For more than 37 years, we’ve proudly supported the Leukaemia Foundation – supporting the 135,000 Australians living with blood cancer.
Our support helps the Leukaemia Foundation deliver a range of services to families facing blood cancer treatment, such as accommodation services – providing accommodation close to treatment centres, providing transport services – allowing patients to access safe, reliable and accessible transport to and from treatment, and important fundraising and awareness initiatives.
Patient Transport Service
Bridgestone stores have proudly supported the Leukaemia Foundation’s Patient Transport Service since 1986, and we’re proud to still be supporting this incredible initiative today.
The Leukaemia Foundation’s transport service has continually evolved to better meet the needs of the blood cancer community, an evolution we proudly support in close collaboration with our network of stores.
In 2021, the service was relaunched and is now more inclusive and accessible to more Australians living with blood cancer from all regions, providing everyone with blood cancer transport options to best suit their needs.
Since its relaunch, the Patient Transport Service has helped more than 2,400 families around Australia through the provision of Cabcharge, Uber and fuel vouchers – allowing convenient and affordable access to treatment.
Bridgestone’s ongoing support
As part of our fundraising initiatives, participating Bridgestone stores donate $2 to the Leukaemia Foundation for every Turanza Serenity Plus tyre sold. These funds will help provide transport services, accommodation, as well as research towards ultimately finding a cure.
