Top doctor defies cancer prognosis with world-first treatment

Professor Richard Scolyer is a world recognised leader in melanoma research, named co-Australian of the Year this year, with his friend and medical oncologist Dr Georgina Long. In May last year, while in Europe attending medical conferences, he had a seizure and collapsed. Then came the devastating news he had a glioblastoma brain tumor - which has a very low survival rate and typically involves surgery followed by radiation and chemotherapy. So Richard Scolyer became a guinea pig for a world-first experimental trial of immunotherapy for melanoma patients, the side effects of which had a 60 per cent chance of killing him. Professor Scolyer has just published a book about his experience called Brainstorm.

Wainuiomata High School secures rowing scholarship

A first-year teacher with a passion for rowing has secured Wainuiomata High School this year's Aon Emerging School Scholarship Award. Gordon Milne didn't want costs to be a barrier for students keen to pick up an oar at the low-income Lower Hutt school. The scholarship contributes $5000 each year toward an eligible school. Rowing - a notoriously intense, not to mention expensive, sport for high school students to partake in - has never been an option for those attending Wainuiomata High. Gordon has worked hard to secure grants and other funding to get the students this far. And has given hours of his personal time to make sure the students can get to their trainings and on the water. He hopes to foster a love of the sport and soon have the crew ready to compete in their first regatta.
