Carrie Bickmore.

Brave Carrie Bickmore.

Last night the gorgeous host of Channel Ten’s The Project spoke sincerely about raising awareness for brain cancer. It’s a cause close to her heart, Bickmore lost her husband, Greg Lange to the disease almost four years ago.

It was a moving and important segment that we urge you to watch.

Here, take a look for yourself.

As Carrie explained, brain cancer is the leading cause of cancer death among those under 40, claiming  1200 Australian lives per year. It’s also a little known fact that brain cancer causes one in three cancer deaths in kids under 10.

In its malignant form brain cancer is almost 100% fatal. With such startling statistics as these, it’s unbelievable so few people know much about this cancer. Our hearts go out to anyone touched by this tragic disease.
