-Brain Tumours - how cancer invades the brain
-Spinal Cord Injury - as a result of sporting or car accidents
-Traumatic Brain Injury - how to halt life threatening brain swelling
-Co

ncussion - how to stop the neurodegeneration in head trauma caused by concussion
-Sudden Infant Death Syndrome - understanding the risk of head trauma in vulnerable juveniles
-Paediatric Research - identifying trends leading to improving treatment outcomes
-Mobile Phones - researching the effects of mobile phone irradiation on the brain
-Stroke, brain haemorrhage and aneurysms - developing surgical treatments

Meet Cecilia 💛🏃‍♀️ Part of

In 2014, Cecilia’s life changed in an instant — all because of a routine scan ordered by a very thorough doctor. She had no symptoms, but the scan revealed a brain tumour.

Thankfully, it was caught early and removed by Dr Nick Vrodos, who is not only an incredible neurosurgeon but also the President of the NRF!

Life returned to normal… until 2020.

While shopping for groceries, Cecilia suddenly had a seizure. The tumour was back — this time, more aggressive. She faced it head-on, undergoing surgery, radiotherapy, and six months of chemotherapy.

Now, Cecilia is lacing up her runners for the City-Bay Fun Run to raise funds for the NRF — because this cause is personal.

She’s running to support research that gives people like her a second chance at life.

Let’s help her smash her fundraising goal and make a difference:

What is glioblastoma?

Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most aggressive form of brain tumour. It can grow fast, resist treatment, and there is no cure.

With limited treatment options, research is vital. Your support fuels breakthroughs that give hope to those diagnosed.

Survival rates have barely changed in the last 20 years. We need to be able to offer more to patients and families facing this devastating disease.

You can help.
