In May 2015, Carrie Bickmore won the prestigious Gold Logie at the TV Week Logie awards, which she dedicated to her late husband Greg who passed away five years earlier following a 10-year battle with brain cancer. Carrie went on to form Carrie's Beanies 4 Brain Cancer Foundation which aims to raise desperately needed funds towards research into the horrible disease that is brain cancer.

Congratulations Carrie!

Congratulations to our very own Carrie Bickmore OAM for being awarded the Medal of the Order of Australia.

We are so proud to see our incredible Founder and Chair recognised for her work raising awareness of brain cancer, advocating for Government funding and raising much needed funds for vital research.

From this day back in 2015 we had no idea the journey you had started us on. You work so hard to have a positive impact on brain cancer sufferers and their families all around the country, in honour of your late husband Greg. Since this day the support has been overwhelming and your Foundation has now raised over $11.4m for brain cancer research. We are so thrilled to see you recognised for all the hard work you do, hopefully one day no-one else will lose someone they love to this horrible disease.

We are working on a fantastic new range of beanies for winter 2020! This year we’re continuing to support our incredible researchers all around the country. See our Grants for a few of the projects you have helped support by buying a beanie. We know that these incredible programs are all providing more critical pieces of the puzzle as we work towards a cure for brain cancer. Please continue to wear your beanies proudly and if you want to organise your own fundraiser click here.

“I am one of far too many Australians whose lives have been irrevocably changed by the tragedy of brain cancer. On December 27th 2010 my husband Greg Lange died at just 34 years of age. No one should have to suffer this way, and until we find a solution, people will.”
