Ongoing appeals
Throughout the year, we run a variety of campaigns and appeals that you can get involved with and support vital medical research being funded in St George and Sutherland hospitals.
EOFY campaign
Behind every medical breakthrough is a life changed forever.
This EOFY, we asked our community to help us raise $25,000 to support early-stage medical research through the SSMRF Grants Program at St George and Sutherland Hospitals.
Two years ago, Dr Joyce Chiu’s mother was diagnosed with advanced cancer and given very little hope. After treatment combining chemotherapy and immunotherapy, her condition improved dramatically. That experience inspired Dr Chiu’s research into helping more patients benefit from these life-changing treatments.
“We are really grateful for the transforming power of immunotherapy. I have experienced how powerful this treatment has been and we are the lucky ones that it works.”
Today, Dr Chiu is researching how immune cells can better enter and attack cancer, with the goal of improving treatment outcomes for more patients and families facing cancer.
Support from the St George & Sutherland Medical Research Foundation and Southern Cancer Care is helping advance this important work, but there is so much more research we would like to fund.
If you missed donating before EOFY, it’s not too late to make a tax-deductible donation to help support local researchers working on the next generation of discoveries, treatments and improved patient care.
Donate to SSMRF today and help fund medical research that changes lives.
