Smiddy's Fun Run 2009
PA Hospital
staff and running enthusiasts have raised $6,500
for cancer research in the
annual Smiddy’s Fun Run.
Over 250 people participated in
the race on 10 November, which is
held annually in memory of late PAH pysiotherapist Adam Smiddy.
 The funds will be put towards the Smiddy’s Fun Run 2009 purchase of a Vivascope Imager for PAH’s Dermatology Research Centre for skin cancer research. The Vivascope is a non-invasive imaging tool which allows doctors to see microscopic changes in skin tissue, so they can detect the early onset of melanomas. It can also determine the size, location and shape of cancer cells.
Thank you to all staff, participants, volunteers and the wonderful supporters who donated a fresh breakfast on the day!
The next Smiddy Fun Run is scheduled for November 2010
