Well-loved Brisbane Musician Ewan MacKenzie Needs your help
Can you help Ewan’s family raise some funds to help pay for some new and promising cancer treatment?
As many of you may know, in 2015 Ewan was diagnosed with oesophageal cancer and after four months of chemotherapy and surgery - things were looking pretty good! Sadly though, this year the cancer returned and Ewan has cancer cells in his hips, ribs and spine. Metastatic bone cancer does not generally have a very good prognosis for the patient but in Ewan’s case he has responded well to radiation and chemotherapy and his oncologist has now recommended him as a good candidate to receive a relatively new cancer treatment, immunotherapy, designed to boost the body’s natural defences to fight cancer. This immunotherapy treatment is still in its infancy in Australia and therefore the costs of administering the treatment is high. A pharmaceutical company is sponsoring the immunotherapy program but a co-payment is also required by the patient.
Please help us to give Ewan this treatment opportunity and keep him doing what he loves most - playing guitar. The world is a much better place with the big man and his music in it.
Raising money to fund cancer treatment for Ewan MacKenzie.

Ewan, I remember you and your musical abilities from very early days - Beechwood Park practices in Balmoral. You shone then and it seems your talent has continued to grow richly. Even in your youth you seemed to be a philosophiser, and this inner calmness should never leave you. Draw on it deeply in this bleak time, Kim B
