The Tony Lucas Research Grant sits within the Cure Brain Cancer Foundation (formerly Cure For Life Foundation) to fund medical research for a cure for brain cancer. To date we have raised over $500,000 and the money is being put into the Cure Brain Cancer Foundations new collaborative research effort hoping to accelerate a cure for brain cancer within 10 years. Read more about our 2013 research project here.

Hi Beck,what a great job you are doing! Your dad would be so proud of you.
I can see Tone, up there, on the crest of a wave,watching so proudly, his beautiful daughter, working so passionately in her quest to help find a cure for this terrible disease.
Lots of love Jane xx
Tony was so passionate about the need to find a cure for himself and other sufferers he spent much of his last two years trying to support Cure for Life. No one should suffer as he did and we wish to help others in the future find a cure. Bec has set up this Research Grant to carry on his vision. Please help us to help others. We thank you for all your support.
He will always be missed.

Dear Bec
My brother was a school and uni mate of your dad’s so he told me of your family’s sad journey over the last few years. I work as a clown doctor in three major Sydney hospitals and at the children’s hospice Bear Cottage in Manly. I have seen too many young children die of this terrible disease. I applaud your initiative and will spread the word. What a beautiful way to honour your father’s life.
Love
Lou Pollard
Hi Bec,
As a family member of Audrey Rose Myrden, I also applaud your initiative to spread the word about this dreaded disease….The Myrden family, Barry, Charlie, JHack, Declan and I did the manly walk. We ourselves lost Audrey Rose just less than a month ago and she was a great avocate for Brain Cancer Research. She too is watching
from above and encouraging us all to do our best! Your Dad, Tony and my sister will always be with us!! Great job Beck!! Corinne Quinlan xxoo
Dear Sabrina,
Your father would be very proud of you! You are doing him proud and I know that he loved you very very much! never forget him! Even when times get rough and you miss him he will always be there with you! xx
Dear Lucas family I am so proud of you all . you have worked tirelessly to create a living memory for your father.. it has been so tough for you all but your strength shines through . Mum , Oma, Opa and Martha
Hi Bec,
Thank you for organising a great day.
Your doing a great thing by making people aware of this terrible illness and your family should be very proud.I lost my dad earlier this year to lung cancer that’s where it started anyway and finally ended up in the brain.My wife and i travelled from syney’s west today to be there and would not have missed it and we will be back next year thank you again for a great day .
Hi Bec and Mrs Lucas
Thankyou for such a great day and my chance to be able to find a positive in this hard road. Thankyou for finding the time to talk to my hubby and I as I know you were so busy.He thought it was wonderful and hopes the money does find answers with research as he hopes no one else has to travel the road we have. His journey is coming to an end but he still wants to make sure we help get answers for others. I applaud you on your efforts .
I will be back next year and raise double what I did this year. Helene and Max Cooper

My husband was diagnosed with grade4 brain cancer on July 6and died on September 24 2014.
His care was exceptional but still cant believe he really had no idea he was dying due to his confusion.
Why are there different fund raises for brain cancer. Breast cancer seems to have the McGrath Foundation which I applaud but brain cancer seems to be the poor cousin along with mental health.
Looking forwarded to a reply
