We are pleased to announce that we have raised over $1 million in support of life-saving breast cancer research!

Since 2016, our residents, staff and partners across our 94 communities have rallied together to donate to the Project Pink campaign. 

These funds have gone to support amazing research projects, including UQ Diamantina Institute, Group Leader Associate Professor Fiona Simpson and her lab’s ground-breaking research project into breast cancer, as well as supporting the establishment of the Metro South Breast Cancer Institute.

Thanks to everyone’s generous support, A/Prof Fiona Simpson’s work has been recognised in the world’s top journals, and her team are now even coming up with new clinical trials in breast cancer, head and neck cancer, adenoid cystic carcinoma, prostate cancer and pancreatic cancer.

Watch the video above to hear from A/Prof Fiona Simpson below about their success, an update on some of the other research projects, and her new challenge for fundraising in 2021.
