RM Cancer Support

By Rafe Melero

I’m taking ACRF Host to support Australian Cancer Research Foundation (ACRF) in their mission to achieve a world without cancer.

My name is Rafe Melero, and I started RM Cancer Support to honor the memory of my dad, who passed away from stage 4 brain cancer when I was just 12. Cancer has also taken my auntie to breast cancer and my momma to bowel cancer. These losses have deeply affected me and my family, and I want to make a difference by helping others who are fighting cancer.

To challenge myself and stay strong both physically and mentally, I will be undertaking a 90-plus day lock-in challenge starting October 1, 2025. This challenge involves following a strict diet, getting 7-9 hours of sleep each night, maintaining discipline, and tracking my workouts, meditation, and progress weekly. It’s about building focus, resilience, and determination—qualities I want to bring into this fight against cancer.

Through RM Cancer Support, I hope to raise funds that will help support cancer research, treatment, and families facing the same struggles we have endured. Every donation, no matter the size, brings hope and strength to those in need. Thank you for joining me on this journey to create a future where fewer families lose their loved ones to cancer.

Thank you for your generous donation. Supporting ACRF means giving Australia’s best cancer research to the people who need it most. That could be someone you know – someone you care about – your family, your friends, your community, perhaps even you.
