We are pleased to partner with the Adelaide Crows Foundation to support our trekkers to tackle the Heysen Trail from Skye to Bridgewater, raising vital funds for cutting edge paediatric brain tumour research.

I’m walking to raise vital funding for research into children's brain tumours, so that better treatments can be developed. I’m a brain tumour researcher, and in my position as the NeuroSurgical Research Foundation Professor of Brain Tumour Research I frequently have the privilege to meet with brain tumour patients and their families. Through this I see the inadequacy and impact of current therapies on patients, and the desperate need for better therapeutic approaches. I strongly believe that with sufficient funding, better treatment and cures for brain tumours can be achieved.
By taking on this huge challenge I’m thrilled to be teaming up with two great charities in the Crows Foundation and the NeuroSurgical Research Foundation to try to put actions behind those words to raise funds to support cutting-edge research led by Associate Professor Quenten Schwarz at the Centre for Cancer Biology (University of South Australia and SA Pathology) and Professor Jordan Hansford (South Australian Health and Medical Research Institute and Women’s and Children’s Hospital) that has the potential to make a real difference to outcomes for children with brain tumours.
Please help me to make my target to raise $5,000 for this important cause.
**TREK UPDATE** - Our dedicated trekkers were excited to take on the Kokoda Track and challenge themselves mentally and physically to raise vital funds for children in need. Unfortunately, the historic Kokoda track has been closed indefinitely as local landowners demand outstanding payments from the Papua New Guinea government. Instead Stuart and Markus, now also joined by brain tumour research Quenten Schwarz will be taking on the Heysen Trail this weekend Saturday 17th October from Skye to Bridgwater! Please get behind them and help make a difference for children and their families impacted by a brain tumour diagnosis.
The Crows Foundation supports close to 20,000 disadvantaged children through well-being, education, indigenous and inclusion programs. The NRF search for a cure for childhood brain cancer, the killer of more children than any other disease, for which treatments have not improved in the past 30 years.
