Nice to see our @embojournal.org paper from last year getting a mention on Bsky.

Reflecting on an amazing year of Tour de Cure fundraising completing 6 events!
Ten years of the #Can4Cancer campaign has contributed ~$20M to cancer research in Aus.👏
Capped off with a $100K grant award from Tour de Cure for our #glioblastoma work!
Dedicating this work to Rohan. Vale my friend.
