Results are in!!
Now in its third year, the Spring for Research Annual Appeal raised over $19,000.
All Clubs were actively encouraged to support this appeal and help Lions Medical Research Foundation achieve fundraising targets. Funds raised for medical research improve the quality of life for present and future generations, and of course assist current and future researchers. Projects undertaken by our 3 researchers include Dr Tracey Bjorkman’s research into Hypoxic Ischemia in premature and newborn babies, Dr Carlos Salomon’s research into ovarian cancer and Dr Nadeeka Dissanayaka’s research into anxiety, depression and dementia in Parkinsons’ disease patients.
Life-changing and life-threatening illnesses can happen to any of us at any time, and the researchers funded by the Foundation all work tirelessly in their fields to seek cures, treatments and solutions.
