Lunch With Georgina Long AO and Richard Scolyer AO
Event description
Do not miss this incredible opportunity to hear from the most sought-after, newly named joint 2024 Australians of the Year.
Prestigiously awarded and recognised Professors Georgina Long and Richard Scolyer will be joining Peter Overton at the annual Dreams2Live4 lunch in Sydney, supporting the work of the only Australian charity making dreams come true for adults with advanced cancer
The Board of Dreams2Live4 invites you to join us for an intimate and relaxed discussion with these incredible melanoma treatment pioneers - Georgina and Richard’s enduring partnership has saved thousands of lives from melanoma, known as Australia's national cancer.
Less than a decade ago, advanced melanoma was fatal – but thanks to Georgina and Richard’s immunotherapy approach, which activates a patient’s own immune system, it has become a curable disease.
The Co-Medical Directors of Melanoma Institute Australia are sought-after media commentators and advocates for sun-safe behaviour and melanoma prevention.
In June 2023, when Richard was diagnosed with incurable grade 4 brain cancer, he and Georgina developed a series of world-first treatments based on their melanoma breakthroughs.
Richard has generated widespread public interest by publicly documenting his own cancer treatment and progress.
