Leigh Walker

By Mandi Walker

In loving memory of Leigh Walker

Leigh was diagnosed with hemangiopericytoma in 2017. Neither of us had heard of it. It is an extremely rare cancer, accounting for approximately just 3% of soft tissue sarcomas in adults. We soon learnt that rare cancers, receive very little funding for research, so Leigh wanted to set up a memorial/donation page in the hope that his story can make a difference. We owe it to others like Leigh & their families, to advocate for better prevention, diagnosis & treatment measures. Without this focus, we cannot hope to have an impact on improved patient outcomes. But, there is always hope.
Rare Cancers Australia Ltd is a charity whose purpose is to improve the lives & health outcomes of people living with rare & less common cancers. Their key areas of focus include: Creating a Patient Community, Advocacy, Patient Support Programs, Fundraising, Treatment & Research along with Early Diagnosis.

In memory of Leigh, let’s work together to give our loved ones just a little more time with us. Thank you. RIP Leigh xXx

Just like these cancers Leigh was a rare breed. He exceeded in everything he did. Very much missed.
