The Melbourne Age's "Insight" section this Saturday included an article by Julie Milland that was originally published in The Citizen.
As well as carrying the story of a GBM patient "Paul", the article provides good insights into the who and how of Melbourne's current status as one of the World's leading centre's for cancer research.

The best research demands a supportive network of capabilities concentrated and connected in a way that enables the teams to develop and grow. Right now we have that in Melbourne and it is not only a benefit to us locally, the work and results being achieved here are beneficial on a global scale.
Let's keep it that way.
My efforts to participate in the Melbourne Ride to Conquer Cancer - an annual, two day, charity ride for The Peter Mac hospital in Melbourne raising funds for cancer research. I had the privilege to ride in the first Peter Mac Ride to Conquer Cancer in 2012 and have ridden each year since. In order to ride in a year, each rider needs to raise $2,500 or more in donations. This year the ride will take place on the weekend of 24-25 October, 2015
