I will do everything I can to honour Gideon's memory

I'm fundraising for Team Gideon!

In Australia, brain cancer kills more people under 40 than any other cancer – and more children than any other disease. (Statistics are similar in other developed countries.) Survival rates haven't changed in 30 years. It would be so wonderful to finally see a breakthrough.

So this September – for the 7th year! – I'm raising money for paediatric brain cancer research in honour of my gorgeous nephew Gideon, who died in 2019 at the age of 9, a year after he was diagnosed with glioblastoma multiforme.

Some generous donors have pledged to match all Connor's Run donations during September, so now's a great time donate.

So far #TeamGideon (G's extended family and many friends) has raised over $95,000 this year – I'm hoping to help the team hit $100,000.

Our fundraising efforts over the years have resulted in the creation of the Gideon Gratzer PhD Scholarship – $90,000 over 3 years, awarded to one recipient at any children's cancer institute in Australia, to research paediatric brain cancer in the areas of translational, discovery or clinical research. And we hope to fund more researchers in the future, so that we can see some real progress in the treatment of this terrible disease.
