Natalie Dubs: Advancing Lung Cancer Research Together

Ten years ago, I was diagnosed with Stage 4 ALK+ lung cancer. Today, I’m celebrating a decade of living life to the fullest, thanks to incredible advancements in medical research. I’ve travelled the world, bought and renovated a home, and even welcomed a furry friend named Taicho into my life. While managing the disease, I haven’t let it stop me from pursuing my dreams.

Together, with your help, we can make a difference. A donation to DYNAMALK, no matter the size, can bring more options, time, and hope to everyone affected by this disease.

Past Campaigns

Congratulations to all the participants of City2Surf 2023 who successfully completed the challenging 14km course among a massive field of 80,000 competitors.

The City2Surf is our favourite annual sporting event and with thanks to our new and returning supporters, TOGA is able to help improve the treatment and quality of life of patients with thoracic cancer through clinical trial research.

Stuck for ideas on how to raise funds for thoracic cancer research??

Host an event where each attendee makes a minimum donation to attend. Trivia nights, a wine tasting tour, a dinner party or BBQ, a morning tea, a karaoke night, a scavenger hunt, a dog walk, a music gig, a comedy night, host a bushwalk….the only limit is your imagination

Undertake a personal challenge and collect sponsors. Join #TeamTOGA in various running events, complete 1000 push ups in a month, master the habit of 30 burpees/day and fine yourself $1 for each burpee you don’t complete, choose your favourite form of exercise and up the ante by pledging to complete a certain distance or time, give up sugar for a month.

Involve the family. Create a swear jar, host a garage sale and donate the money taken, provide a neighbourhood car wash, celebrate your next special occasion by requesting donations for lung cancer or mesothelioma research in lieu of gifts.
