“My dad Stojan was diagnosed with a brain tumour at the age of 35. He sadly passed away 15 months following his surgery, leaving behind mum who was 30 at the time, and 3 young children. We miss Dad every day and wonder what life would have been like if he was still with us. It is devastating that more than 30 years on, brain cancer kills more children than any other disease and more people under 40 than any other cancer. Of recent, wonderful members of our local community have been left devastated with a brain cancer diagnosis or the loss of their loved ones due to brain cancer and it is absolutely heartbreaking. The walk for me represents awareness, funds for research and advocacy, support, love, hope, honor, and respect.”

“The suffering my family were forced to endure was huge. I do not want anyone to have to experience the trauma of someone they know being diagnosed with this terrible illness. That’s why my family proudly participates in Walk4BrainCancer to raise funds for brain cancer research.” – Ben Gray
“Until I was diagnosed with a brain tumour in 2017, I had no idea brain cancer kills more Aussie kids than any disease, and more young people under 40 than any other cancer. Walk4BrainCancer is so important in raising the funds and awareness we need to rapidly change those shocking stats.” – Johnny Ruffo
“I truly believe that together, hand in hand, we can all make a difference. Please join me in this important initiative that is very close to my heart & the hearts of many, including my wonderful family. Your support will be very heart felt and greatly appreciated.” – Kate Mitrovski
