Remission Possible rocks out for cancer research
This Saturday, Melbourne rock band The Yellow Stallions will rock out for 24 hours non-stop at Melbourne’s Federation Square in support of cancer research. The marathon concert is part of the Remission Possible project, founded by cancer sufferer Amanda Ghirardello.
At age 25, Amanda was diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer, and after a radical mastectomy and 16 months of chemotherapy, she is now in remission.
Amanda recently appeared on Network Ten’s 7pm Project for an inspiring talk about her successful journey in overcoming breast cancer.
The 27-year-old is determined to provide hope to other cancer sufferers and their families through the Remission Possible Mt Everest fundraising challenge. In March 2011, under the direction of Everest mountaineer Nick Farr, the Remission Possible team will trek first into Everest Base Camp, before ascending a steep snow and ice slope to the summit of Island Peak.
The team is encouraging donations to the Australian Cancer Research Foundation (ACRF) through the Remission Possible website or the ACRF donate page.
The Yellow Stallions will kick off their marathon event at 8pm Saturday 27 November and go until 8pm Sunday 28 November.
