🕯️Today marks the 10th anniversary of the passing of Jeremie Delbosc – diagnosed with a brain tumour in 2014 and passed away on 16 February 2016 at just 26 years old.

Before his passing, Jeremie and his wife, Sarah, started the initiative Getting A-Head of Brain Cancer, which later evolved into the Run For Jeremie in his honour – collectively raising over $52,000 to support our brain tumour research.

Today, we fondly remember Jeremie, and extend our heartfelt gratitude to Sarah for her remarkable on-going commitment and contribution to advancing this vital research.

It’s wedding season! 💍

Why are we talking about weddings, you ask?

Earlier this year, Andrew and Alice tied the knot, having approached us to make a donation in lieu of wedding favours – or bonbonniere, if you prefer.

Together, we produced custom cards paired with our branded lapel pins, one for each guest place setting at their beautiful reception, and the bride and groom made a generous donation to support our neuroscience research.

Thank you, Andrew and Alice, for sharing your celebration with us.

If you are planning a wedding and still deciding on your favours, we’d be honoured to be part of your special day, too! 💜

Congratulations to our inaugural Ambassador, Carrie Bickmore, on being named Victorian Australian of the Year! - for her work to progress brain cancer research.

This announcement couldn’t be more fitting, with the RMH Research Conference taking place on 6-7 November, and this year’s theme - Collaboration within and beyond the network.

Located in the heart of the Melbourne Biomedical Precinct, surrounded by other world-class clinical, educational and research institutions - including the Brain Cancer Centre - it is no doubt that collaboration is the key to our research success.

Together with our current wonderful Ambassadors – Denis Walter OAM and Jamila Rizvi – we extend a massive thank you to all of our collaborators!
