FIGHT FOR A CURE
Join the Fight Against Cancer
Fight on the Beaches is a Northern Beaches based fundraising group dedicated to funding Australian cancer researchers in the lab. With the incredible support of our local community, we have raised over $3 million in the past 10 years to drive forward ground-breaking cancer research.
YOUR IMPACT
Your efforts can make a big impact
Due to the generosity of the Northern Beaches, and Sydney wide community we’ve been able to:
- Fund 15 critical cancer research projects, including a recent study on colorectal cancer, an increasingly prevalent issue in Australia, particularly among younger people.
- Provide local access to cutting-edge treatments through seed funding a clinical trials coordinator at Northern Beaches Hospital.
- Offer personalised patient support via funding a Cancer Care Coordinator at Northern Beaches Hospital.
- Promote early detection and prevention with free cancer screening clinics.
- Bring comfort to chemotherapy patients through care packs delivered to Northern Beaches Hospital.
CONGRATULATIONS PROFESSOR MATT DUN
Thanks to the generous support from the Fight for a Cure community, Prof Matt Dun's DIPG research, which received funding in 2019, has already yielded promising early results.
CONGRATULATIONS DR MALINDA ITCHINS
Dr Malinda Itchin's study found that using the patient’s blood samples to monitor DNA (genes) and proteins in the blood can help predict how a patient will perform on treatment. These blood test analyses were made possible with Fight on the Beaches support.
