Ash and Lucy (Pictured) are a part of the Neuro team at our Fitzroy Site. At the start of September, they pledged to put their running shoes on almost every day and run 100km each for Connor's Run, Australia’s largest event for paediatric brain cancer.

Lucy, who also nursed Connor, often sees firsthand the impact this disease has.

”I am extremely passionate about Connors Run because it is heartbreaking every single time a patient receives a diagnosis of a brain tumour, especially if it’s a glioblastoma or life-threatening. On the 5th floor, we look after so many patients who have had brain surgery, and as nurses, we are passionate in our care for them. I hope with further research that we get closer to a cure or prevention of this insidious disease.”

We love seeing our team getting behind causes that are so close to their heart. If you would like to read more about the Robert Connor Dawes Foundation, you can visit their website.
