OUR VOICES REACHED PARLIAMENT HOUSE. NOW WE NEED THEM HEARD.

36,817 signatures.

Every one of those signatures represents someone who believes Australia should have access to proton beam therapy here at home.

Last week, that message reached the Great Hall of Australian Parliament House at CanForum26.

I was given the privilege of sharing our family’s experience of childhood cancer, travelling overseas for proton therapy, and the realities that continue long after treatment ends.

The video of that address has now been released, and I wanted to share it here with all of you who have helped carry this campaign to where it is today:

But this update isn't really about the speech.

It is about what happens next.

Since Canberra, more people and organisations have reached out asking how they can help, and our petition has continued to grow.

We are now at 36,817 signatures.

That is incredible momentum, but we need to keep building it.

Our next steps will increasingly focus on ensuring this issue receives the attention it needs at the federal level. I will share more about that in due course.

For now, the most important thing you can do is simple:

Please keep sharing the petition.

Share it with your family, your friends, your workplace, your sporting club and your community. Explain why it matters. Ask one more person to sign it, and then ask them to share it too.

We have come too far to let this momentum fade.

Australia still does not have proton beam therapy.

Australian families are still being sent overseas to access it.

And until that changes, we cannot stop.

36,817 voices and growing.

Let’s make sure they are heard. 💛💙
