Today the ABC shared news of the PaedNEO-VAX clinical trial — a world-first Australian study investigating personalised mRNA cancer vaccines for children with brain tumours.

What the article doesn’t say is that this trial builds on years of laboratory research supported by the RCD Foundation, helping advance this promising vaccine research from the lab towards clinical application.

This progress has only been possible thanks to our incredible community — including the generous supporters of our Brain Cancer Vaccine program and the Rosin family and the Brown family, proud Legacy Ambassadors of the RCD Foundation. Along with Bella The Brave. 

This is what hope in action looks like. And it’s only possible because people like you continue to believe that kids with brain cancer deserve better.
