At BTAA’s Head to the Hill in Canberra, Fiona Hassmann shared why people affected by brain cancer need practical support beyond hospital care, calling for funding to sustain our National Advocacy Service.

The Peace of Mind Foundation provides crucial support to thousands of Australians facing a devastating brain cancer diagnosis, but after being denied federal funding, their vital services are at risk of being cut.

The brain tumour community can bring comfort and connection, but losing someone in that community may also stir up survivorship guilt. If you’ve found yourself asking “Why them and not me?”, you don’t have to carry those feelings alone.

July is Bereaved Parents Awareness Month, a time to acknowledge the profound and lifelong grief experienced by parents who have lost a child. 

The team at Peace of Mind Foundation joins the Australian and global medical communities in mourning the passing of Professor Richard Scolyer AO, an amazing yet humble Australian whose work transformed cancer treatment and brought hope to countless patients and families around the world.
