Fundraising

The extraordinary power of people with passion

Why Fundraise?

The RBWH Foundation exists to fund patient care and lifesaving research projects across Royal Brisbane and Women’s Hospital (RBWH), Surgical Treatment and Rehabilitation Service (STARS), Redcliffe Hospital and the many Institutes and Centres across the Herston Health Precinct.  

RBWH has a global reputation for excellence and world-leading discoveries that result in innovations and improvements in patient care, yet many of these discoveries simply would not happen without community funding from generous supporters such as yourself.  

Quite simply - we rely on fundraising to fund research and patient care.

Meet Lisa Head

Despite having no family history of breast cancer and no other symptoms, when Lisa found a small lump under her right armpit, she took her GP's advice and went for a mammogram. 

When the results came back in June this year, Lisa's worst fears were confirmed when she was diagnosed with breast cancer. 

From that day, Lisa's life changed forever, however her positive attitude and determination to fight her prognosis is an inspiration. 

"The diagnosis is just a glitch, a roadblock in my amazing life," Lisa says.


"It's quite a journey. Nothing I ever thought I'd be going through. I'm so grateful for the love and support of family, friends and colleagues. I'm so grateful for the incredible patient care that I am receiving.”

As a current Royal Brisbane and Women's Hospital (RBWH) patient, Lisa is now raising funds to support the hospital that is helping to save her life.
