SYDNEY, Feb. 26, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- In an unprecedented feat of endurance and dedication to cancer research, Lance Kawaguchi, Chief Executive Officer of Cure Brain Cancer Foundation, successfully completed a challenging trek at the South Pole representing more than 20 charities across six countries and raising over $1 million in funds for brain cancer research in Australia.

Over $1 million raised through this trek will be directed towards brain cancer research in Australia.
