Amie St Clair Melanoma Trust
(AU, 90206729363) Browse events
YTD Raised: $4,600.00
(AU, 90206729363) The Amie St Clair Melanoma Trust is dedicated to raising awareness of melanoma. The trust actively supports medical research and endeavours 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. In August 2007 she discovered a lump in her groin. 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 has been 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. 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. A non profit organisation that will work with the communities of the Wagga Wagga region, health professionals and cancer related charities to: Provide support and funding for medical research for the management of Melanoma; To educate the community of the signs and symptoms of Melanoma and raise awareness of the causes and important prevention strategies; and To provide support and assistance to sufferers and their carers including access to specialised care.

We offer free advice on immigration and housing and benefit problems. We also have a health advocate that can help with access to NHS services and GP registration. HMC was established in direct response to needs identified by local agencies and campaigning organisations such as Hackney Community Law Centre, Hackney Refugee and Migrant Support Group, and Hackney Refugee Forum.

HMC aims to reduce poverty, mental distress and social isolation among recent migrants through the provision of high quality immigration and welfare advice and health advocacy. The service is open to any migrant, whatever their nationality, immigration status or present place of residence though almost all clients live in London. HMC also aims to encourage social interaction and mutual support by volunteers talking informally with visitors (clients), and by providing opportunities for interaction among the visitors themselves.
