A Message from Mario
Cancer has touched all of our lives in some way, whether through the loss of a loved one, a friend, or a colleague. Personally, the loss of my father, father-in-law, work colleagues, and close friends to this devastating disease has inspired me to take action.
I dream of a world free from cancer, and I'm determined to help make that a reality. To contribute to this cause, I've joined forces with fellow car enthusiasts – Harry Moustakas, Nick Harris, Michael Skyllas, John Assarapin, and Vince Thompson, aka "The Old Blokes" – to raise funds for Australian Cancer Research Foundation (ACRF).
ACRF provides scientists with cutting-edge technology and equipment to advance research in preventing, detecting, and treating all forms of cancer. We are proud to support this extraordinary organisation, which is driving meaningful progress in the fight against cancer across Australia.
As part of our efforts, we'll be embarking on a six-day road trip starting April 30, driving our classic cars to raise awareness and funds for cancer research. This journey will be fully self-funded, and we invite anyone interested in joining us on this adventure to contact me at 0416 207 723.
Additionally, we'll be hosting a charity function on October 17 at Doltone House, Sylvania Waters, to further support this cause. More details about this exciting event will be shared soon!
Warm regards,
Mario Nearchou

Here are some past projects ACRF supporters have helped fund:
Cervical Cancer Vaccine
ACRF supporters contributed to the seed funding for Professor Ian Frazer’s development of a cervical cancer vaccine. Thanks to a national immunisation program, Australia is set to be the first country to effectively eliminate the disease.
Personalised Cancer Treatment
Donations from ACRF supporters enabled an ambitious project that aims to provide each cancer patient a personalized treatment plan within 36 hours from diagnosis.
Zero Childhood Cancer
Thanks to the generosity of their supporters, ACRF became one of the founding partners of an initiative to tackle the most difficult cases of infant, childhood and adolescent cancer in Australia. Clinical trials are currently underway nationally and results are looking positive.
