A very special night for the Around Australia Ride group as they received a Skype call from Professor Glenn Marshall. Professor Marshall has been Head of the Molecular Carcinogenesis Program at Children’s Cancer Institute since 1995. He is also Clinical Director of the Zero Childhood Cancer personalised medicine program, Paediatric Oncologist at Kids Cancer Centre, and Head of Translational Research at Children’s Cancer Institute. He thanked the group and all of their supporters for the funds raised and explained how government funding will always fall short of what is needed and that the money raised on this journey is hoped to fund a research position for a young scientist working on specific aspects of helping children’s bodies to fight cancer in new and incredible ways. Such a moving experience for this wonderful group to hear of the many avenues scientists are exploring.
