Geoff is a dad, husband, blogger, public speaker and an active patient advocate. Since being diagnosed in 2014 with the terminal blood cancer multiple myeloma, Geoff uses this adversity as a means to lead by example in helping others to become empowered with the challenges that they may face. His advocacy includes working as a volunteer for Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre, Snowdome Foundation, the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute of Medical Research and Myeloma Australia. In addition, he provides ‘blood buddy’ support to many diagnosed patients, he is a research ‘consumer’ where he supports many research projects, and he is an active presenter where he provides inspiration to others as they navigate their own adversity. Geoff is also founder/director of MY Mount Eliza Run & Fun Festival, and has raised nearly $400k for research and patient support since 2017. Geoff believes that his diagnosis does not define him, nor limit him, and in fact, powers him towards supporting others, raising awareness and funds for myeloma research.
