EVERY DAY IS A BLESSING!
In 1999, Claude Giles was diagnosed with stage IV melanoma. The following four years saw 16 secondary melanomas appear and each was removed, including 20% of his right lung and a large part of his bowel. In 2003, the inevitable happened and a tumour appeared that was 'inoperable and life threatening'. "This is when I was lucky enough to be offered a place on a trial using a melanoma treatment vaccine" recalls Claude. "I started on the vaccine and even though three more tumours appeared, which were each removed, the inoperable one started gradually disappearing. And once it had gone, miraculously, no more appeared.”
Claude is of course thrilled to be melanoma free and says “I truly believe the vaccine has kept the reoccurring melanomas under control and has SAVED MY LIFE."
The AMRF are proud to be sponsors of this life saving vaccine research but it is only with your support that we can continue.
With the end of financial year fast approaching, a donation would assist us to:
- continue sponsoring ground breaking research,
- provide community awareness programs, and
- fund initiatives that will enable our support nurse to have a wider reach in the community.
Please donate now before the end of the financial year so that we may continue to change the future for people like Claude.
Thank you all for your wonderful support.
Best Wishes
