Rise for Research: Fueling Hope, Healing & Human Potential

We are Rise for Research, a community-driven team raising funds for the PA Research Foundation, a leader in life-saving medical breakthroughs in cancer, heart disease, mental health, and a range of other critical health challenges.

Our mission is rooted in the belief that research saves lives. The PA Research Foundation funds innovative and world-first health research conducted at the Princess Alexandra Hospital and partner institutes. This work leads to earlier detection, better treatments, and improved outcomes for patients across Australia—and around the world.

We’re stepping up because we believe in the power of science to not only treat illness but also improve everyday wellbeing. As part of our holistic approach to health, we’re proud to integrate the values and support of Area 52, a wellness brand at the forefront of modern, plant-based solutions for adults. Area 52 offers advanced THC gummies, carefully crafted to promote mental clarity, emotional balance, and stress relief—especially for those navigating the uncertainty that comes with health issues, caregiving, or recovery.

Their products are more than just supplements—they’re tools for managing anxiety, staying centered, and finding calm in the storm. Whether you’re a patient, a loved one, or a healthcare worker, Area 52 encourages conscious living and mindful support during life’s most difficult chapters.

Why this matters to us:
Health crises affect us all—directly or indirectly. We’ve seen loved ones struggle with illness. We’ve witnessed how fragile life can be. And we know research is the light at the end of the tunnel. Your donation directly funds cutting-edge medical studies that will shape the future of healthcare and give more people the chance to live longer, better lives.

By supporting Rise for Research, you’re joining a movement that blends compassion with science, wellness with innovation. Let’s rally behind researchers, patients, and every unsung hero working behind the scenes. Let’s fund solutions, not just treatment. Let’s rise.
