💜 Cherishing the Everyday 💜

Andrew Phan's story is a powerful reminder of the importance of listening to your body.

As a radiographer, Andrew knew the signs and symptoms to look out for but despite his medical knowledge Andrew chose to ignore them. His symptoms worsened and he finally confided in his best friend, a nurse, and his worst fears were confirmed: testicular cancer.

Embarking on chemotherapy was a challenging journey, but Andrew's resilience and determination helped him through. Now on the road to recovery, he's more grateful than ever for the everyday moments and the support of his loved ones.

🔬 Transforming Research into Everyday Moments 🌟

Associate Professor Quenten Schwarz is on a mission to change lives. As a leading expert in neurovascular research, his work at the Centre for Cancer Biology focuses on understanding and conquering childhood cancers and neurodevelopmental disorders. From neuroblastoma to autism, his research aims to make a profound difference for families affected by these conditions. 💪🧬

Quenten's commitment goes far beyond the lab. As a father, he’s deeply moved by stories like Edwina’s—a brave young girl who fought neuroblastoma and now inspires countless others. “Her story is a powerful reminder of why we need better treatments,” he says.

With your support you can help drive this critical research and bring hope for countless ‘everyday’ moments for families like Edwina’s. Learn more about Quenten's powerful work: https://thrf.link/childhood-cancer

💜 Celebrating the Everyday Moments 💜

At just two years old, Edwina faced a battle no child should endure—an aggressive stage 4 neuroblastoma diagnosis. With no standard treatment for neuroblastoma, this left Edwina and her family uncertain of what the future would hold.

Seeing your kids happy, healthy and thriving are the everyday moments every family wishes for. Edwina is now 10 years old and celebrating her seven-year milestone of being cancer-free!

The Thomas family cherishes every moment together, embracing the simple joys of life that were once uncertain. From cheeky banter between siblings to family adventures, they’re savouring those special everyday moments that are worth fighting for. 🏡💖
