Mark Hughes Foundation Limited
The Mark Hughes Foundation Limited is an Australian nonprofit organization dedicated to raising funds for brain cancer research, raising awareness about the disease, and supporting patients and their families. The foundation was established after Mark Hughes, a former Australian rugby league player, was diagnosed with brain cancer in 2013.
Mission
The mission of the Mark Hughes Foundation is to improve the lives of those affected by brain cancer through research, awareness, and support. It aims to collaborate with various stakeholders to drive impactful research programs that enhance survival rates and quality of life for brain cancer patients[1][3].
The Mark Hughes Foundation Centre for Brain Cancer Research
In partnership with the University of Newcastle, the foundation established the Mark Hughes Foundation Centre for Brain Cancer Research. This centre brings together scientists, clinicians, patients, and care professionals to advance brain cancer research. It leverages the university's cancer research ecosystem and cutting-edge technology to achieve significant outcomes for brain tumour patients[1][3].
Impact and Challenges
Brain cancer remains a significant health challenge with low federal funding. It is noted that brain cancer kills more Australians under 40 than any other cancer, with only 2 in 10 people diagnosed surviving at least five years[3]. Despite these challenges, the foundation is committed to making a difference through community engagement, fundraising, and research collaboration.
Community Engagement and Fundraising
The Mark Hughes Foundation encourages community involvement through various fundraising initiatives. It also partners with other organizations to enhance its reach and impact. For example, a recent partnership with Safewill allows supporters to create wills and include donations to the foundation, further supporting its mission to find a cure for brain cancer[5].

Scott Hingston’s 12-Day Challenge for Brain Cancer https://t.co/MGOH9wvzp9 via @storm (tw)
Mark and Professor Mike Fay, Director of the MHF Centre for Brain Cancer Research, recently hit the road to visit patients, carers, and medical teams across regional NSW. Over two big days, they travelled more than 1,000km from Newcastle to Tamworth, Coffs Harbour and Port Macquarie. Along the way, they met with brain cancer patients and families who generously shared their stories and challenges. Mark also visited Tamworth High School and presented to year 11 and 12 about facing adversity and the importance of a positive mindset. These visits remind us just how personal every brain cancer journey is and how powerful it is to connect, listen and show people they’re not alone. They also highlight the vital work of Mike and our research teams across the country, who are pushing every day for better treatments and outcomes. Thanks to everyone who welcomed us with open arms (and beanies) in Tamworth and the Mid North Coast! (fb)
