This year’s cause is RUN DIPG, a charity seeking to fund research into DIPG (Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glaucoma) is an inoperable and untreatable form of brain cancer located in the brainstem (pons), founded by University of Newcastle and Hunter Medical Research Institute cancer researcher Professor Matt Dunn, who sadly lost his own daughter to this cruel disease. This nefarious cancer mainly strikes children aged six and seven, without any warning signs, and is considered to be terminal upon diagnosis, with most given around nine months to live, however, its relative rareness sees it routinely miss the already minimal Federal Government funding that is allocated to cancer research. Professor Dunn and team organise numerous fundraising events including runs and marathons, hence the charity’s name, and the money goes directly to fund lab research, developing the combination therapy being used in Australia’s first clinical trial. Tickets for the Lions Fashion Show are now available at all participating boutiques, including BT’s for Fashion, Bohemian Spirit, Circle of Friends, Little Faith, and Mungo Rd. “Tickets are $20, and include a glass of Bubbles, and are redeemable for certain discounts at the shops after the show,” Ms Richards said.
