Thanks to the fight for a cure community we were able to provide funding for a cancer clinical trials nurse at the Northern Beaches Hospital in 2022. This funding has allowed the cancer clinical trial program to be set up and is now self funding. Allowing Northern Beaches cancer patients access to worldwide treatments close to home.
Antonia Pearson Oncology Clinical Trial Lead at Northern Beaches Hospital said "Clinical trials are an important way for local beaches patients to be able to access cutting edge anti cancer medicines and other interventions to help support patients during their cancer treatment and beyond. It means the world to patients and their families to have this vital research close to home without the need for travel all over Sydney. As local oncologists, we are so pleased to be able to offer this service to our patients and to bring local and international research within our reach."
We want to thank all of you for helping us to fund this role. It was the It's not just about administering medicine; it's about giving local cancer patients hope and moving the needle in the battle against cancer. Your help isn’t just about funding a role; it’s about touching the lives of everyone fighting this fight, making sure they get the best care without the stress of traveling miles for it.
Here's to kicking more goals like this in 2024!
