How it all started

It all started in May 2015 when Carrie won a Logie!

In 2015 Carrie dedicated her Gold Logie Award to her late husband Greg, who passed away following a 10-year battle with brain cancer. She formed CB4BC Foundation and has since raised over $17 million for vital brain cancer research.

The Statistics

Currently there is no cure

80% of patients diagnosed with brain cancer will die within 5 years

Brain cancer kills more children in this country than ANY other disease

Survival rates haven't changed in 30 years

Brain cancer kills more people under the age of 40 than any other cancer

One Australian is diagnosed with brain cancer every 5 hours

Since 2015 you've helped us raise over $18 million!

But we need to do more… The only way to improve survival rates is through more research.
We can’t do this without you!

Our aim is to ensure as much money as possible gets into the hands of researchers working to find a cure. We keep our admin costs incredibly low, less than 4% of overall revenue.
