I am a year 9 student at Immanuel College. Part of our school term involves the completion of a community project. I have chosen to assist with raising funds for the much needed ongoing research into brain tumours.
My mum was diagnosed with a brain tumour before I was born. She was cared for by the neuroscience team at the Royal Melbourne Hospital. I feel that if it were not for the amazing work and dedication of the surgeons, hospital staff, and research teams, I may never have come to be. I want to give my thanks, and give back as much as I can.
I plan for this project to be the start of a lifelong commitment to the Royal Melbourne Neuroscience Foundation; an organisation which runs a world class brain tumour research program.
Any donation, big or small, will be so very much appreciated.
Great cause. Well done Katie!
