From cancer patron to patient
November 10, 2015
Pharmacy Guild of
Australia group executive
Engagement & Advocacy
Anne Dalton said she was
totally unaware of her own
brain cancer when ironically
meeting in January this year
with other executives to
plan how the Guild would
help raise awareness of the
condition.
The meeting resulted in a number
of joint initiatives, including an
official and active partnership
between the Pharmacy Guild
and Cure Brain Cancer starting
with national president George
Tambassis jumping out of a plane
and raising $10,000 (PD 03 Mar).
As Dalton expressed it, her
symptoms did not at first alert
her to the malignant glioblastoma
multiforme (GBM) which changed
her in approximately two weeks
from “patron to patient”.
The final round of chemotherapy
is about to be undertaken,
Dalton said, following months
of both radiation therapy and
chemotherapy.
Fund-raising successes include the
‘Beanies for Brain Cancer’ and the
current ‘Walk 4 Brain Cancer’ last
weekend which has already raised
$639,758 of its $1,100,000 goal.

fundraising walk or to add your
