Tracey Danaher is a Professor at Monash University. Her primary research interests centre around solving business problems, but she also has a special interest in healthcare research, in particular, cancer care.
It was not until cancer directly touched her own life, that Tracey truly understood the overwhelming fear and anxiety, and the bravery it takes to face a cancer diagnosis.
Her son Zac was diagnosed in 2015 with a Choroid Plexus Carcinoma, a very rare and aggressive brain tumour. Sadly Zac lost his battle in 2019 just weeks after his eighth birthday.
Since then, Tracey has been a strong advocate of the Children’s Cancer Foundation.
In joining the Foundation’s board of Directors, Tracey brings a mix of unique skills – experience in business (market research, marketing, advertising) and academia (research, grant writing, publishing, and teaching) all wrapped up in first-hand knowledge of the challenges and journey that children with cancer and their families face.
A warm welcome to Tracey.
