“I donate because of my personal experience and to support the amazing work you're doing. Not only to provide scholarships, but also to increase technology, keep things cutting edge and talk to everyday people, sharing the narrative of the work that you're actually doing.”

“Far too often we lose extraordinary young people to brain cancer. Rachael was one. She had so much to give as a daughter, friend, student and future counsellor. She never got to be a mum or a wife or develop her career. Brain cancer takes so much from us. The work for an urgently needed cure continues thanks to families like Rachael’s.”

Foundation Chair and Director of Neurosurgery
