GIVE TODAY TO SUPPORT CANCER RESEARCH

Rosie gives 100% of all online profits to the Australian Cancer Research Foundation.

Who are the ACRF and what happens to Rosie's contributions to them? Australian Cancer Research Foundation (ACRF) funding has made a real difference to the quality of life to patients with cancer. Foundation funds have supported the discovery of new ways to detect and treat all the various types of cancers, including Breast and Prostate Cancer, Bowel and Colon Cancer, Children's Cancers, Lung Cancer, Brain Cancer, Pancreatic Cancer, Liver Cancer, Lymphoma and Leukaemia. ACRF research has led to improved survival rates in breast cancer patients, as well as a clearer understanding of the characteristics that cause cells to become cancerous. The ACRF Board of Trustees is resolutely and totally committed to low administration and fundraising costs. Every dollar of every donation received by the Australian Cancer Research Foundation goes directly to Australian Cancer Research Foundation.
 

All donations over $15 (AUD) will receive Rosie's new album "CHRYSALIS" for FREE!*

The new album "Chrysalis", offers 10 original songs by Rosie sharing her musical storybook of cancer experiences. A touching and uplifting album written from the heart to help others going through similar experiences.

*The Album can be downloaded (the link will be emailed to you), or if you have an Australian postal address, Rosie can post the CD to you for free (Standard post). For further queries email Rosie at rosiescancerfund@gmail.com

ROSIES STORY


In December 2007, after months of consultations with my GP and putting up with stomach pain and loss of weight, My husband decided it was time to seek help elsewhere. He drove me in the middle of the night to our city Emergency Department to face my demons. Following a colonoscopy and gastroscopy, I was told the dreaded words "You have Stomach Cancer". The first thought that ran through my head was: how long have I got? I remember feeling calm as I looked over to my husband Jeff. His face had become very pale.

That night, I asked many questions, and over the next few weeks I went through all the different tests. Bone marrow biopsy, bloods, PET scan, CT scan, MRI. The biopsy from the stomach showed it was a rare MALT lymphoma and could be treated by drugs and chemo. Learn more...

Opening of the Tasmanian Menzies Research Centre

The Australian Cancer Research Foundation had kindly invited Jeff and I to be guests at the opening of the Tasmanian Menzies Research Institute in Hobart, Australia.

The Institute was officially opened on the 28th September by the Tasmanian Minister for Health, The Hon Michelle O’Byrne MP.

The Menzies Research Institute conducts innovative, world-class medical research to improve health and well being. In particular, only Tasmania (and Iceland) have relatively isolated populations and therefore the Institute has access to Tasmania’s unique genetic identity and environmental influences responsible for the onset and progression of inherited cancers . The scientists at the Menzies Institute will work to identify genes that predispose people to cancer and hopefully bring about breakthroughs in the treatment of these cancers.

Jeff and I had thoroughly enjoyed attending the opening of this wonderful Centre .  We were very impressed with the outstanding role that the ACRF played, in providing grants to assist the scientists in obtaining specialised equipment for their research.
