Great fundraising event for the charity and so grateful to Chelsea Mayoh for speaking about the challenges of immunotherapy and how to make treatments more effective for neuroblastoma. Great to agree we need to get ahead of the symptoms rather than wait for them..

Always great to get a willing hand or two ! Thanks to two awesome volunteers this week who helped us get ready for our next fun run event, Run2Cure Melbourne, despite the drizzle !

I = Immunotherapy 🧬🎯 Immunotherapy is a type of cancer treatment that helps the body’s immune system fight cancer, by training the immune system to find and target cancerous cells. The ANZCHOG #Leukaemia & #Lymphoma Group recently published a position statement on the use of blinatumomab (a type of immunotherapy drug) in infants, children and adolescents with B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukaemia Blinatumomab works by targeting a certain protein on the leukaemia cells so that the immune system can recognise them. Results from two pivotal paediatric frontline studies have now shown significant improvement in survival outcomes with the addition of blinatumomab to chemotherapy for both infants and children.

A HUGE thank-you to everyone who supported our Golf2Cure fundraising event on the beautiful greens at St Michaels Golf Club. We were treated to a warm and bright spring day with the sun shining on the greens from the first tee-off to the final hole! The day raised over $32k to support the vital research projects needed to find better and kinder treatments for neuroblastoma. It’s a fantastic result and we very much appreciate the support of our golfers, prize donors, and the helpful team at St Michaels. A special thank-you to our generous sponsors: Gold: Porsche Centre Sydney South Silver: ProYou Business Advisory Drink Cart Sponsors: Integrated Advisory We look forward to seeing you again at the next Golf2Cure 💚

C is for CAR-T Cell Therapy - also known as Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR) T Cell Therapy 🔬 CAR-T Cell Therapy has been used in Australia to treat children with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) where standard therapies were unsuccessful. It works by taking a patient’s T cells (a type of immune cell) and altering them in a laboratory so they will then bind to and destroy cancer cells. #ANZCHOG #ChildhoodCancerAwarenessMonth
