Geoff Nyssen - Empowerment, Wellness and Living Deliberately

06/09/2022

💥💥

On Friday night the Snowdome Foundation and Snowdome volunteer, Geoff Nyssen were honoured at the Third Sector Awards winning the Small Charity of the Year and Volunteer of the Year Awards.

It was serendipitous that this acknowledgment, from the not-for-profit sector, came on the first day of Blood Cancer Awareness Month, recognising the passion that Geoff and the Snowdome community have for accelerating next-generation treatments for Australians affected by blood cancer.

As a Snowdome family we feel a deep sense of gratitude to all who made this possible. To our founders, past and current board and executive members, researchers and their teams, donors and fundraisers, volunteers, partner organisations and patients who have participated in clinical trials, we celebrate this incredible recognition with you.

We also warmly acknowledge the other blood cancer organisations to which Geoff so selflessly gives of himself - Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre, WEHI - The Walter and Eliza Hall Institute and Myeloma Australia. We are incredibly proud to be part of this passionate community working tirelessly to improve outcomes for those affected by blood cancer.

Thank you Third Sector News for this greatly appreciated recognition.

Hello my healing team, I hope this update finds you well.

As I sit in the Alfred undergoing pre stem cell transplant testing, I contemplate all the amazing things that I am grateful for in my life.

As I write this, I sit at the Alfred Hospital doing all of the protesting before I can undergo a Stem Cell Transplant (SCT) which is booked in for mid April.  Today, I have had a full skeletal survey, a chest X-ray, a cardiac test, an ECG and a detailed blood exam, all completed to ensure that my bo...
