Several years ago, Rob Preece, a long-time marathon runner, developed a soreness in his leg that wasn’t going away. Eventually, a lump appeared in the same spot. A biopsy revealed something he never could have expected: a rare and aggressive form of sarcoma called UPS.
Rob’s doctor, @AngelaHong of @Sydney_Uni, told him about a clinical trial supported by #StandUpToCancer and led by @DrDavidKirsch and @EverettModing that was testing a new treatment approach for UPS. Rob enrolled in the trial and now, more than 2 years later, he is cancer-free and enjoying life, including frequent outings with his granddaughter to get ice cream. “This trial was life saving for me.” ❤️
The results of this SU2C-funded clinical trial represented the first significant improvement in the treatment of this form of sarcoma in decades. Learn more about Rob’s story and this cancer research breakthrough at SU2C.link/SarcomaBreakthroug….

It was a momentous time celebrating @ausoftheyear 2025 with my daughters (one watching proudly from the USA!), my rock of a husband, and my wise brilliant mum. As I welcome our inspiring new awardees, I reflect on an incredible 2024: pioneering melanoma research that transformed clinical practice, leading groundbreaking discoveries with brilliant women scientists & clinicians, and exploring our vast nation's changemakers.
Through the highs of #research success and raising awareness for #SunSafety (preventing melanoma - Australia's cancer), came profound loss - farewell to my beloved father Geoff Long, whose wisdom & cut-through I miss daily. Grateful for my 5 siblings, mum, and family who carry his legacy forward. Thank you Australia for a truly unforgettable year. @Sydney_Uni @MelanomaAus @Science_Academy @abcnews @ABCTV @gg_sammostyn @AlboMP @PatrickGormanMP @ProfRAScolyer @FightMND @KatrinaWruck
