This month, Melbourne Rebels players got a behind the scenes
glimpse at our life saving research when they toured Murdoch
Childrens Research Institute.
Rebel's players, Julian Huxley, Danny Cipriani, Hugh Pyle, Nic
Henderson, Cooper Vuna, Luke Holmes, Mark Rowe, Cameron York and
Justin Feenstra visited to meet some of our passionate researchers
who work in the areas of anaesthetics, MRI, rotavirus and
cancer.
The tour also gave the players the opportunity to meet and talk
with kids who benefit from our discoveries.
Murdoch Childrens is one of four official charity partners of
RaboDirect Melbourne Rebels in 2011, with funds from the proceeds
of ticket sales going towards supporting research into conditions
such as diabetes, allergies, cancer, premature birth and genetic
conditions.
