This project is incredibly special as it recognises the connection of Elizabeth Petropoulos and her battle with this disease.

It will be known as “Elizabeth’s Legacy – Deciphering the Molecular Mosaic of NF2” and will be a flagship program of The Brain Cancer Centre, connecting the current resources of our other funded programs to grow our understanding of this devastating disease.

NF is a genetic disorder that causes tumours, blindness and learning difficulties. With limited treatments and no cure, more research is crucial to bring hope to families impacted by NF.

Brain cancer kills more people under 40 than any other cancer. This year, I lost two young friends in this age group who I met through the brain cancer community. Tragically, 80% of people diagnosed with brain cancer will die within five years. This needs to change.

In August/September 2024, I will be hiking the MASSIV ruta in Norway solo to raise money for brain cancer research.

Unfortunately, on 10^th April 2024, at 7 months old Daisy lost her short battle with this horrible disease, but not before she left a huge indent on her community. Her presence has left a legacy that has lit a fire under those near and dear who want to help with research to find a cure, to ensure that no other family has to go through what Daisy and her family endured.

Hugo spent 7 months undergoing high dose chemotherapy in hospital before passing away aged 21 months.

Hugo’s parents are committed to support more vital research into paediatric brain cancer.

This was the same treatment used for this type of tumour in the 1960’s; there have been no medical advances in more than 60 years.

Lach was a perfectly healthy and fit 20yo who was playing footy and basketball one week and debilitated the next. It took Lach’s balance, coordination, vision, speech, the ability to swallow and then breathe. We need to raise funds and awareness.

If this can happen to Lach, no one is safe!

Please help so that parents in the future do not have to endure our unimaginable pain.
