Cancer Council joins forces with Sydney FC to kick off against cancer
Cancer Council, Australia’s leading cancer charity, is thrilled to announce a new partnership with Sydney Football Club for their 20th anniversary season.
The exciting partnership offers Cancer Council the opportunity to join forces with Australia’s most successful A-League club, as well as reach the league’s largest fan base.
Through this partnership, Cancer Council will have a platform to communicate its services and vital cancer information to the A-League’s largest and growing base of Australian football fans, as well as encourage fans to donate and support life-saving cancer research.
Cancer Council partnership holds extra meaning for Sydney FC goalie
Just before Christmas in 2021, Sydney FC goalkeeper Harrison Devenish-Meares was shocked to hear his mum Rossana had been diagnosed with renal cell carcinoma.
For someone in peak physical condition, seeing his mother and other professional footballers affected by cancer made Harrison aware that this can happen to anyone, regardless of age or health.
“When it hits close to home, it hits different. Mum was lucky that her cancer was detected early, and her prognosis was excellent. I take inspiration from the fact she’s used it as a springboard to live a more fulfilling life,” Harrison says.
