Are you aged 18–25y and living with or after cancer (within one year post-treatment), or are you a carer or healthcare provider for someone who is?

Would you like to share your perceptions of bothersome cancer symptoms to help find better ways to support other young people in the future?

On behalf of the University of Technology Sydney, we invite you to take part in a focus group or interview to discuss symptoms and treatment approaches for young adults with cancer. A focus group is a type of group discussion with others who are like you and an interview is a one-on-one conversation with a researcher.

The study is for people who are based in Australia. Focus groups and interviews will be online and take about 1-hour.

We'd like to end Sarcoma Awareness Month by sharing Adele's story 🎗

For the past few years, Adele has physically and mentally battled with her diagnosis since finding a little lump on her stomach. She waited months between appointments to slowly find out more information about this lump, which turned out to be an aggressive fibromatosis.

Read Adele's full story on our website, sarcoma.org.au/news/sarcoma-stories/-a-perfect-life-shattered-by-cancer-

It's the last day of July. We're so grateful for everyone who was part of this SAM, every donation, share, and moment of support has helped us make sarcoma known.

To our spokespeople who courageously shared their stories, your voices are so important, and they've made a real difference in raising awareness for sarcoma.

And to everyone who showed up, at Plank-A-Thon Melbourne, planking every day through June and July, and again at Plank-A-Thon Sydney, or cheering and fundraising from afar, together you've raised over $97,000, money that's going towards vital sarcoma research.

The month may be over, but the work isn't. Keep sharing, keep talking about sarcoma, and help us keep the momentum going đź’›

It's the final day of Sarcoma Awareness Month — thank you for following along 💛

Congratulations to Dr Liz Connolly, ANZSA Sarcoma Clinical Research Fellow 25/26, one of three Peter Mac clinician-researchers named as recipients of the 2026 Discovery Partner Fellowships!

Dr Connolly's project will build a collaborative sarcoma research program at Peter Mac, giving clinicians and researchers better access to patient tissue samples to advance sarcoma research. Using proteomics, the large-scale study of proteins, the program will help identify which patients are most likely to benefit from emerging targeted therapies, including antibody-drug conjugates.

This research aims to bring precision medicine to more people with sarcoma, expand treatment options for this underserved cancer, and improve outcomes through more personalised and effective care.

Aidyn Clements was a 22 year old full-time nursing student and working mum. She was engaged to her “soulmate” Matt, whom she had been with since she was 16. She lived in Burnie, Tasmania, and being a mother to her two young boys, aged 1 and 4 was her dream, her life was busy, but purposeful.

Six weeks after discovering a lump under her collarbone, Aidyn received the news she had cancer, a week later, she was diagnosed with Ewing’s sarcoma.

It’s the final week of Sarcoma Awareness Month 🎗️ read Aidyn’s full story via https://sarcoma.org.au/news/sarcoma-stories/my-intuition-saved-my-life 💛
