I don’t have live access to up-to-the-minute feeds right now, but I can share what’s been reported recently about the Mark Hughes Foundation (MHF).
Key recent highlights
- Fundraising momentum: The rugby league community has continued to raise substantial sums for brain cancer research through annual drives like the Beanie for Brain Cancer rounds, with figures reported around several million dollars in recent campaigns. This underscores ongoing community support for MHF’s mission to fund brain cancer research and patient support.[1]
- Research funding and grants: The MHF Centre for Brain Cancer Research has announced and funded multiple research projects through innovation grant rounds, including six grant recipients totaling hundreds of thousands of dollars, demonstrating continued investment in blue-sky brain cancer research ideas.[2]
- Institution-wide impact: The Foundation has established a significant footprint in Newcastle and broader Australia, including a dedicated brain cancer research centre and ongoing fundraising campaigns; the 10-year anniversary materials from Newcastle council reference about $30 million raised and a $25 million research centre to accelerate brain cancer research.[3]
- Public communications: The Foundation maintains active public-facing updates, news pages, and donation channels on its official site, including information on how to donate or support programs.[4][5][6][7]
