We’ve raised over $24 million. But we’re not done yet!
Since 2015, your support has helped raise over $24 million, driving vital brain cancer research. We need so much more to find a cure — but together, we can make a difference.
10 Years of CB4BC
This year marks 10 years of CB4BC. When I won the Gold Logie in 2015, I wanted to use my acceptance speech to make a difference. Thanks to the support and generosity of Australians, we've raised over $24m for research. We can’t thank you, our community, enough for your continued support.
Together we can make a difference.
Big 5 Marathon
The CB4BC team is taking on the challenge of a lifetime — racing through the wild to raise funds for brain cancer research. This is a race like no other — right through the habitat of elephants, rhinos, buffalo, lions and leopards.
With no fences or barriers, we’ll face tough conditions and the wild up close. But it’s nothing compared to the battle brain cancer patients fight every day. We’re running to raise vital funds for life-saving research.

How it Started
In 2015, Carrie Bickmore dedicated her Gold Logie award to her late husband Greg, who passed away from brain cancer. She encouraged everyone to don a beanie for brain cancer. The reaction was overwhelming and inspired her to start Carrie’s Beanies 4 Brain Cancer Foundation, to raise vital funds to support brain cancer research.
This year marks 10 years of CB4BC. Thanks to the support and generosity of Australians buying beanies and hosting fundraisers, we’ve raised over $24 million for research. But there’s still so much more to do.
The Brain Cancer Centre
Founded by Carrie’s Beanies 4 Brain Cancer in partnership with WEHI and supported by the Victorian Government, The Brain Cancer Centre brings together the brightest medical research minds to help end brain cancer as a terminal illness.
