An excellent opportunity to support this worthwhile project.
ShelterBox was set up in Cornwall in 2000 and has grown to be a world-wide charity delivering emergency disaster relief to families in their hour of greatest need. Originally, green boxes containing the essentials required in the aftermath of a disaster were delivered by trained volunteers. These ShelterBoxes were warehoused around the world so that they could be on the ground, at a disaster site, within twenty-four hours of it being safe to do so. The ShelterBoxes contained a tent, stove, cooking items, a light, water purification unit, bedding, basic tools and lots more. Since 2014 ShelterKits have been added to the relief effort and contain all of the essential tools people need to start repairing and rebuilding their homes. ShelterBox is continually adapting to better help those in need of emergency disaster relief and you can learn more about this wonderful charity at www.shelterboxaustralia.org.au/

It’s so good to know that we are able to help with this important workWorld Cancer Day held on 4th February, and 2024’s theme is to Close the Care Gap.
In December 2023, Spinnaker Health Research Foundation was proud to award 2024 Grant recipient – Dr Collin Chin, based out of Rockingham General Hospital, for his project on an emerging new treatment for blood cancers called CAR T-cell therapy.
Approximately 2134 West Australians are diagnosed with blood cancer annually, with 655 patients expected to lose their lives. Immune effector cell (IEC) therapies such as chimaeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy and bispecific antibodies are the newest weapon against the commonest blood cancer, lymphoma, and can cure 1 in 2 patients who would have died with standard treatments.
Thank you to Fremantle Rotary and Rotary Club of Attadale for your generous donation and investment into cancer research in WA.
Dr Chin’s project uses a technology called flow cytometry to study individual blood cells to understand how and why the immune cells get tired. This will help develop new ideas on how to improve these treatments, like recharging the immune system or finding different ways to give the treatment. Thanks to the Rotary clubs of Fremantle and Attadale’s generous donation, hundreds of patients with blood cancer in WA are set to benefit.
The rotary clubs donation allows to kickstart this project and potentially change how IEC therapies are used in Australia and globally. Dr Chin’s goal is to see as many patients as possible with blood cancer become cancer-free, and the Rotary clubs of Fremantle and Attadale, are now part of this journey. Your contribution to cancer research in WA lays the foundation for this vision to take place, and lays the path for future generations of medical researchers in the South Metropolitan Health Service.
Spinnaker HRF cannot wait to hear about the impact and health outcomes that Dr Chin’s team will set out to achieve.
