Over two years ago, Steve Maartensz was diagnosed with colon cancer. Throughout his journey, the doctors, nurses, and specialists who cared for him went beyond just providing treatment—they offered genuine support and compassion, making a difficult time a little more bearable.
We invite you to join us in supporting the Garvan Institute, whose research efforts are crucial for improving outcomes for future patients. Every contribution, no matter how small, helps fund important research that brings us closer to better treatments and, one day, a cure.
Watching Steve's resilience through his battle has shown us the importance of hope and continued progress in cancer research. Your donation can help provide that hope for others, paving the way for more effective therapies and brighter futures.
Thank you for considering donating to support this important cause.

Stevie, we will miss you so much. We feel so privileged to have had you in our lives. Your friendship, mentoring and advice was always so pure and genuine. Dear Fiona, Matt, Nick and Belle, Whilst Dineli and I had not spent a lot of time with each of you personally, Stevie spoke so much about each of you with so much love and passion. We look forward to celebrating his life with you all next week.
