CONTRIBUTING TO SOMETHING BIGGER THAN OURSELVES
“I am deeply grateful to Peter Mac on a personal level for saving my dad’s life after diagnosis with stage IV metastatic melanoma; more than 10 years on and he’s still a survivor. These are the types of differences in people’s lives that Peter Mac makes.
“On a professional level, I am sincerely thankful for Peter Mac initiatives like the Lea Medal, which I was awarded for my work on resistance to therapies for melanoma. Receiving this funding allowed me to expand my research with world leaders in my field and gave me the opportunity to present my research at international conferences and Medical Research Institutes. Ultimately, it means my work is one step closer to making a real difference for melanoma patients.
“I would also like to express my gratitude to the Peter Mac Foundation and all the generous fundraisers who step up to contribute to something bigger than themselves.“
– Dr Lorey Smith, Senior Research Officer in Professor Grant McArthur’s Laboratory at the Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre, and an Honorary Fellow in the Sir Peter MacCallum Department of Oncology, University of Melbourne

“Peter Mac go above and beyond to assist in anything we need.”
Meg Moloney’s dad, Kevin, was first diagnosed with cancer in 2016, when he found a lump on his neck. The lump proved to be skin cancer that had infected his lymph nodes. He was referred to Peter Mac and started treatment straight away. Then in 2019, while Kevin was at one of his regular check-ups, the doctors noticed that the skin cancer had spread from his neck to his head. He was put on to a second course of treatment immediately. It was at that stage that Meg was inspired to get involved with Walk to Fight Cancer and raise funds for the organisation that was doing so much for her dad.
Kevin is now fighting his third round of cancer, and continues to receive care and treatment from Peter Mac. Meg says:
“As a family, we don’t know what we would have done without Peter Mac’s support. They call us to catch up, they share information with us – they go above and beyond to assist in anything we need.”
