Dreams2Live4 is the only organisation in Australia that helps make dreams come true for adults who are living with metastatic cancer, relapsed Lymphoma, Leukaemia and grades 3-4 brain cancer.

Living with metastatic cancer can be an overwhelming and gruelling battle. Dreams2Live4 empowers these patients to dream and find purpose again. It is the only charity of its type in Australia for adult patients.


2020 Pitch
Funds Raised: $69,450

Louise pitched at TFN Virtual Live to fund a Dream Maker, who will be with the patient from receiving the initial application right through to the completion of the dream. Dream Makers are nurses who understand the importance of a dream and the positive effect fulfilling one can have on the mental health and well being of the patient.

Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.


The Impact…

Despite the impact of COVID-19, Dreams2Live4 had a busy year of dream granting. The funding they received enabled Dreams2Live4 to employ a ‘Dream Maker’, to take care of all the behind the scenes work. Dreams2Live4 has granted all sorts of dreams this year such as hospital beauty treatments, planting of a rose garden, making puppy dreams come true, road trips and holidays, new computers, new furniture and even a very special wedding! The groom from this wedding said: "I can’t put into words how much I value Dreams2Live4 giving me the opportunity to join my special people in smiles, laughter and reminiscing and to forget about all the pain and medical procedures for a while."
