Bone Marrow Donor Institute (BMDI)
The Bone Marrow Donor Institute is a registered charity dedicated to the care, treatment and support of cancer patients and their families. The institute funds research into better treatment methods, prevention and early detection tests for leukemia and other forms of cancer.
The Institute relies on the support of the community, supporters, donors, volunteers, government, corporate partners and all Australians to continue its work.
Originally founded with the aim of establishing an Australian bone marrow donor registry, over the years, the institute has broadened it scope to include a number of programs which support patients with leukaemia and other forms of cancer.
iFocus is pleased to support the excellent work conducted by BMDI. As part of our support we donate our services to BMDI by managing all aspects of the BMDI web site. We have also been a major sponsor of the annual Red Ball fund raising event and volunteered on its organising committee for a number of years.
