Icon Cancer Foundation has launched its end of financial year appeal to raise vital funds for life-saving research.
You can help patients like Icon Cancer Centre patient Simon by donating vital funds for research.
Simon was diagnosed with aggressive non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. After several rounds of failed chemotherapy, he was running out of time. His last hope – a breakthrough treatment made possible by research. It saved his life.
“I owe my life to research and to the people who support it,” says Simon, who is now in remission and back flying as a Qantas pilot. He’s treasuring every moment with his wife Catherine and daughter Bianca.
Simon benefitted from CAR T-cell therapy, a type of immunotherapy that didn’t exist ten years ago.
“Without research, the treatment would exist now, and I wouldn’t be here.”
Simon has now been in remission for five years.
His story is a powerful reminder that every effective cancer treatment available today started as an idea – one that needed funding, testing and time to develop.
That’s why Icon Cancer Foundation is committed to funding innovative research led by Icon Cancer Centre clinicians – so that more patients like Simon have a future.
Your donation today helps fund the research that leads to tomorrow’s cures. Please give generously.
Donate today. Change lives.
