2023 Cassy Morris Research Grant
Tender ID: 529928
Tender Details
Tender Description
Lung Foundation Australia via the Hope Research Fund is proud to partner with the Morris family to offer this grant valued at $10,000 as a contribution towards existing or new lung cancer-related research projects.
Cassy Morris was diagnosed with Stage IV lung cancer in June 2017. A young woman and never smoker, Cassy was diagnosed with EGFR-type lung cancer. She died exactly 12 months after her diagnosis, leaving behind her 3 young daughters and husband. During her courageous 12-month battle, Cassy was acutely aware of the devastating impact lung cancer has on the community as Australia’s biggest cancer killer and that her fight, was already made more difficult, due to the lack of funding and resources available and lasting stigma and association with tobacco smoking. Cassy was action-oriented and outcome driven. She would strongly support research in developing biomarkers and medicines that can lead to better diagnosis, treatment and outcomes for patients and families, who sadly, now find themselves in the same situation that she and her family went through. She would want nothing more than to contribute in a positive way, so others may be spared the same fate in the future.
