I’m riding to beat cancer
It is my privilege to ride for the Perkins Institute of Medical Research alongside my two sons, Liam Callaway and Jai Callaway. Embarking on a 200km journey through the beautiful WA countryside is a small sacrifice for such a monumental cause.Â
I am continually amazed by the dedication and research progress of the 200+ researchers, scientists, and clinicians at Perkins. Their advancements in treatment, improvements in life expectancy, and innovative therapies developed over the last decade are nothing short of remarkable. For instance, Professor Jonas Nilsson's team is pioneering TIL Therapy (Tumour-Infiltrating Lymphocytes). This cutting-edge treatment involves enhancing immune cells outside the body and reintroducing them to combat melanoma. The potential impact of their upcoming clinical trial could revolutionize the treatment of melanoma and potentially other cancers as well.Â
This year, early detection has allowed a dear friend to undergo surgery and treatment for prostate cancer, which would have been impossible just ten years ago. Such stories highlight the vital importance of ongoing research and the life-saving work being done at Perkins.Â
Cancer remains a devastating disease that affects so many of us. Therefore, I invite you to support us as we ride over 200km to back the incredible team at Perkins. Your contributions make a significant difference and drive the progress towards more effective treatments and ultimately, a cure.Â
A heartfelt thank you to all who have donated in the past. Your support is deeply appreciated, and I hope you will consider contributing again this year, knowing that your funding is creating such fantastic outcomes.
