Preserving Cooper’s legacy by generating critical funding for sarcoma research; promoting awareness & early diagnosis; and supporting patients & families
International Childhood CancerDay
Thanks to funding & targeted research, childhood/AYA cancers have seen a 75% reduction in mortality over the past 40 years. (AIHW)
Sadly survival outcomes for young people with sarcoma remain largely unchanged. https://t.co/Qiv0b9SecT

Your legacy sees $4m to date for sarcoma funding. 2024 over $1m of vital research @OmicoAustralia@KidsCancerInst, @hudson_Research & @TRI_info
As long as we live you will live too. Now forever and always… Forever 18

A proud moment for @OmicoAustralia - Prof David Thomas, receiving NSW’s highest cancer accolade @ the Premier’s Awards, recognising his remarkable work in sarcoma research, genomics & precision oncology. Our sincere thanks for all you do for those living with sarcoma.
Afamicel, TCR targeting MAGEA-4 approved for #synovial sarcoma. A remarkable advancement for our patients, laying the foundation for future efforts in solid tumors.

July is Sarcoma Awareness Month. While sarcoma awareness is a continuous effort, July sees the message heightened globally.
Sarcoma affects all ages, however this month we place the magnifying glass on the over 30s, & the unique set of challenges faced.

Every day 15 ppl are diagnosed with #sarcoma cancer. We must ensure faster, more accurate diagnosis & better treatments. Sarcoma UK has invested £6.5m in research. We're ready to work with all partners to deliver better cancer care https://t.co/vBZFmWW7pY #WorldCancerDay
We’re proud that @ProfDMThomas has received the Australian and New Zealand Sarcoma Association Outstanding Contribution Award.
What a testament to David’s support of the ongoing development of @anzsarcoma and his passionate advocacy for sarcoma patients.

Imagine a test that truly understands cancer like never before.
Genomic testing closely examines a cancer's unique genetic makeup, allowing doctors to identify new tailored treatments for patients.
At Omico, we're on a mission to change how we fight cancer. We're providing 23,000+ Australians with advanced or incurable cancer access to genomic testing for free.
We're searching for Aussies eligible for our free screening. Could you help us get the word out by sharing? https://t.co/Wu6euXxlL4

It’s difficult to find the words to thank Dom Robinson, Cass Prothero & the stellar team at the @tourdecure_aus spring lunch. A fabulous event raising $1.1m highlighting 2 very deserving causes - oncofertility @RoyalWomensHosp & sarcoma @coopsfoundation

Well deserved @ballingermandy ! We thank you so much for all you do in this field and the hope you provide those living with sarcoma. #curesarcoma#notgivingin
Really happy to see @ballingermandy receive the 2023 Liddy Shriver Early Research Award for her pioneering work over more than 15 years in sarcoma genetics and early detection to protect people with Li Fraumeni Syndrome. @GarvanInstitute@UNSWMedicine@OmicoAustralia
Together, our screening programs have reached more than 10,000 people living with advanced or incurable cancers.
We want to acknowledge the clinicians who have helped their patients access free Comprehensive Genomic Profiling (CGP) and the possibility of clinical trials of novel, targeted therapies.

September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, & we’re shining the spotlight on young people living with cancer, & in particular sarcoma. Lives are changed irreversibly in the blink of an eye, as sarcoma hits our young disproportionately hard. https://t.co/lcuaWlXIlJ
Today we honour the memory of our precious son whose legacy lives on not only in our hearts, but also in the hope his Foundation creates for those walking this road behind him.

Monday night Robert Beech-Jones chaired a marathon CRBF Board meeting, such is his commitment to turning the dial for sarcoma in Australia.
The very next day, he became the 43rd Justice of the High Court of Australia.

July is #SarcomaAwarenessMonth. One of the 'forgotten cancers', this rare form of cancer has multiple subtypes and can be difficult to diagnose accurately. At Omico, we drive research that will help enable earlier detection and improved outcomes for people with #sarcoma
