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.
The Royal Melbourne Hospital Neuroscience Foundation is conducting research to help improve survival rates for people with brain cancer. Visit their website to learn more or make a donation.

This was hard to watch, I have recently been diagnosed with a Glioblastoma multiforme brain tumors and have had it removed and start chemo and radiotherapy in a while. Then it's a waiting game, am unable to work in my new career at 41 yrs old as a Secondary teacher and am hoping I can see my daughter graduate from University in 3 years. It throws your world into turmoil, no income, unable to drive and no cure. But plenty of fight in this old girl yet!!
I'm praying for you. My fiancé lost his battle but he put up an incredibly brace fight. I know you'll fight hard too! You can beat this! My prayers, peace and love are with you. You've got this x
Carrie is gorgeous, and amazingly brave.... she has never asked for sympathy and has continued to present brilliant journalism, all the while caring for her son as a single parent .... so PLEASE don't call her Bickmore.... her name is Carrie...... she deserves so my respect and love. I take my hat off to you Carrie xxx
