Amie St Clair Melanoma

Amie St Clair Melanoma Our aim is to raise awareness of melanoma, support melanoma research and support melanoma patients. In August 2007 she discovered a lump in her groin.

Amie St Clair MIA is dedicated to raising awareness of melanoma. We actively support medical research and endeavour to provide better access to specialised care for the communities of the Wagga Wagga region. Amie was only 20 years old when she was diagnosed with metastatic melanoma. She was prompt in seeking medical advice, and after an ultrasound and biopsy, was diagnosed with melanoma. There was

no primary skin lesion ever found. Over the next couple of years this unpredictable cancer appeared again and again. Amie went through numerous operations but it had spread too quickly - the surgeons could not operate as fast as it appeared. She battled long and hard for just over three years, trying every available treatment. On 9 November 2009, just one day after her 23rd birthday, Amie lost her battle with cancer. For many people illness is a very private matter but Amie’s journey was well-documented in local media and her progress followed by the Wagga Wagga community. It had always been her wish that others learn from her story and not have to face the same fate at the hands of melanoma. The Amie St Clair Melanoma Trust was created in her honour to educate and support Riverina families with regards to melanoma prevention and education. It was also recognised during Amie’s illness that there are limited resources and support for melanoma patients in rural areas. The trust seeks to address this by providing support for other families fighting melanoma. Our Vision

To make a difference in raising awareness of Melanoma, to actively support medical research, and to provide better access to specialised care for the communities of the Wagga Wagga region. Mission Statement

We have an important announcement to share with our community.

After six years of partnership, the Amie St Clair Melanoma Trust will be returning to operating independently, with our collaboration with the Melanoma Institute Australia concluding at the end of 2025.

We are incredibly grateful for what we achieved together over this time.
This partnership allowed us to extend our reach, strengthen our impact, and support more individuals and families affected my melanoma than ever before.

As we rebuild as an independent organisation again, our focus stays the same, supporting those impacted by melanoma and continue to educate our community on prevention and early detection.

Importantly, the melanoma care nurse, Danielle, will continue in her role as normal, providing the same dedicated care and support to patients and their families.

This is a new beginning for the Trust, and we will once again be relying on the strength and generosity of our community.

With that being said, we have extended our ticket sales for our upcoming Annual Ball until 6pm Thursday 18th June.
Pink & Black Masquerade 🩷🖤

Today, we join the melanoma community, researchers, clinicians, patients and families across Australia in mourning the loss of Professor Richard Scolyer AO.

Richard was more than a world-renowned melanoma pathologist and researcher – he was a passionate advocate, an inspiration, and a man whose work has helped save countless lives. His groundbreaking contributions to melanoma research transformed treatment options and brought hope to patients and families around the world. His dedication to improving outcomes for those affected by melanoma leaves a legacy that will continue for generations.

The Amie St Clair Melanoma Trust was privileged to become part of the Melanoma Institute Australia family in 2020, strengthening our shared commitment to supporting patients, raising awareness and working towards a future with zero deaths from melanoma.

We were especially honoured to welcome Richard as our special guest speaker at our Annual Ball in 2024. Like so many who met him, we were struck not only by his brilliance, but by his warmth, humility and genuine kindness. He gave his time generously, inspiring everyone in the room with his unwavering dedication to making a difference.

Even after being diagnosed with glioblastoma, Richard faced his own illness with extraordinary courage and openness, continuing to advance research while giving hope to others facing cancer. His determination, resilience and selflessness touched people far beyond the medical community.

Richard’s legacy will live on through the lives he saved, the research he championed, and the countless people he inspired to keep fighting for a world free from melanoma.

Our thoughts are with his wife Katie, their children, his colleagues, and all who knew and loved him.

Thank you, Richard. Your impact will never be forgotten. 💙

Forever part of the Amie St Clair family.
