As many of you know I was diagnosed with the lung cancer at the end of 2023.  It is Australia’s biggest cancer killer!   I had part of my lung removed and chemotherapy.  Currently I am on a clinical trial for which I am so grateful.  Research offers hope and your support helps keep hope alive for me and the 15,122 new Australians living with lung cancer.
If you have lungs, you can get lung cancer.  My goal is to raise funds for research and to raise awareness of the disease.  Earlier this year, I participated with Lung Foundation Australia to provide the lived experience perspective for the blueprint which calls on governments to act on reforms to improve prevention, early detection, treatment, survivorship and research.  The links are below if you are interested. 

Let's raise funds and awareness to brighten the future for Australians living with lung cancer. Your donation will fund the best and brightest researchers to undertake projects that support discoveries towards the prevention, management and cure of lung cancer. 

Where there is light, there is hope. Every dollar builds a brighter future for Australians diagnosed with lung cancer.

Please donate or forward on to someone who may benefit from reading the blueprint. Your donation has contributed to research such as my clinical trial and to advancements in treatments such as my surgery.  You will make a difference by donating.  Thank you!
