Taking research and patient care to new heights
But in August, they’ll support exceptional research and patient care in a different way, taking The Plunge to raise vital funds for Flinders Foundation.
“Clinical trials can’t run the way they do without funding”, said Alessia and Shelley from the Medical Oncology team at the Flinders Centre for Innovation in Cancer.
“By taking The Plunge, we hope to raise the funds that help improve peoples’ quality of life.”
While abseiling to the bottom of the InterContinental Hotel is a nerve-wracking challenge, it’s their way of showing their support for the patients they see each day.
“Feeling out of my comfort zone for an hour is nothing compared to what our patients go through”, they said.
Taking The Plunge is about much more than an adrenaline rush for the team, it’s about ensuring that groundbreaking research and exceptional care continue to be supported, leading to breakthroughs and kinder treatments for patients in southern Adelaide and beyond.
“By donating, you are helping everyone around you, even if you don’t know it,” said Alessia and Shelley.
Support team “Control Group Dropoffs” to take The Plunge for people affected by cancer and other diseases at Flinders. Donate to their team today.
