## Resource

Melanoma pioneer Richard Scolyer, who died at 59 after a fierce three-year battle with brain cancer, lived his final days with the same courage and scientific spirit that defined his groundbreaking work. Volunteering to test experimental therapies on himself, he became a beacon of hope for patients worldwide, tirelessly advocating for research funding and mentoring his children with love. His family honors his legacy by pushing for greater investment in brain cancer, while Australia’s leaders, including Prime Minister Albanese, laud him as a national hero whose grace and determination will live on — and whose name will be remembered when a cure is found.
