Carrie Bickmore’s charity part of world-first clinical trial for brain cancer treatment after losing her husband to the disease: ‘I’m just so proud of the work we are doing’
Carrie Bickmore’s cancer charity has played a part in a new development in brain cancer treatment.
The Project star’s Carrie’s Beanies 4 Brain Cancer Foundation was part of the team announcing a world-first clinical trial for the treatment of brain cancer on Monday.
The Brain-POP (brain perioperative) will help doctors see if drug therapies are working on a patient’s brain and allows for multiple clinical trials to run concurrently.

‘Many people have worked really hard to bring this to life for brain cancer patients,’ Carrie told The Herald Sun.
‘I’m just so proud of the work we are doing at The Brain Cancer Centre and the incredible progress this can have for the brain cancer community,’ she added.
It is a topic very close to Carrie as she lost her husband Greg Lange to the disease.

Greg tragically passed away in December 2010 at age 35 from a 10-year battle with brain cancer.
Despite his terminal condition, they married in 2005 when Bickmore was just 25 and had a son, Oliver.
The 41-year-old said having their son was the greatest thing they ever did together.

After Lange died, she continued his legacy by starting her own charity, Carrie’s Beanies for Brain Cancer, which she announced during her Gold Logie acceptance speech in 2015.
Carrie has been with her executive producer partner Chris Walker since 2012.
In addition to raising Carrie’s son Oliver together, the couple have two daughters, Evie and Adelaide.
