Welcome!

I have decided to make a difference to the outcome of people living with melanoma as it has become known as Australia’s National Cancer, and statistics have to change! I would also like to start a campaign to lobby Private Health Funds to include Skin Cancer checks yearly in all policies.

Why should Acupuncture & Physiotherapy be subsidised and not skin screening?! 

Teeth, Eyes & Skin check yearly.

Did you know that each year over 1,500 Australians will die from melanoma and that it is the most common cancer in Australians aged 15-39 years? I have decided to make a difference by creating my own fundraising page and will participate in the Manly walk to raise funds for melanoma research. Please join my team “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” on Sunday, 22 March 2015 for a 4km walk around Manly. We will finish with a picnic to celebrate Dr Tiffany Dobbs who was taken from us at the young age of 30.

Click the link below to either join the team, make a secure online donation or buy a ticket in the raffle. All donations over $2 are tax deductible and you will be issued with a DGR receipt via email as soon as you make a donation.
