AMRF would like to sincerely thank everyone who came along to the event on Sunday 27 March 2022 at Henley Square and participated in the march to make it a great event. We enjoyed perfect weather for our coastal walk. This year the focus was on a very COVID safe event and the rolling starts gave everyone the chance to come along, check in and commence their walk in their own time at their own pace.
Our partners Melanoma Patients Australia (MPA) came to offer support and information. Core Physio & Pilates generously offered their time to offer free sports massages. Two new wonderful volunteers Kath and Lea came along to greet and encourage everyone at the halfway mark.
We would especially like to acknowledge all our Fundraisers and Teams for an amazing effort raising funds that will support the world-first immunotherapy clinical trial which has the potential to transform cancer treatment globally. Currently, 50% of advanced melanoma patients don’t respond to, or develop resistance to the immunotherapy treatment which saves others. The clinical trial is to test a Personalised Immunotherapy Platform designed to ensure these patients get effective treatment for the first time, based on their own genetics and tumour biology.
Our thanks go out to everyone who donated and although there are too many to mention, we would like to thank the following teams and fundraisers who have become a part of the life changing work we do in conjunction with Melanoma Institute Australia.
Teams: Big Stars, Beljens, Team Craig, The G-Team, MPA Team, Marching For Anthony, The Stocks Go Marching In and Brighton Day Surgery.
Fundraisers: Chloe Broadbent, Elaine’s Army, Karen Morris, Lyndal Sterenberg from Es Una Smart Swimwear, Rachel Thiele, Jane Thornton, Crawfords Crew.
