The creation of the ULTRAVIOLET clothing range came about from first hand experience of cancer in the close knit family of Marilyn Seyb. The range aims to increase awareness of being safe in the sun while being covered with long sleeved garments and trousers that optimise the effect of layering:-

Visit a Kimberleys store to view the fantastic range.

As a result of this association, Kimberleys are also contributing a significant annual donation to the Cancer Society for at least the next three years.

The Cancer Society wishes to thank Marilyn and John for their foresight and contribution.

Cancer will affect one in every three New Zealanders at some stage du ring their lives.

The Cancer Society Auckland is here to provide support to cancer patients and their families, to prevent the onset of cancer, and to carry out scientific research into cancer.



We rely solely on the generosity of the public of Auckland and Northland for financial and volunteer support in order to provide these services. We do not accept direct Government funding as we do not wish to be compromised in any advocacy or lobbying we undertake.

We have been serving the communities of Auckland and Northland for 75 years and intend to go on meeting the needs of cancer patients and their families.

AWARDS TO OUR RESEARCHERS

Congratulations to Professor Bruce Baguley on being awarded the 2006 Sir Charles Hercus Medal of the Royal Society of New Zealand. This is awarded biennially in rotation in three different areas of biomedical and health sciences. Professor Baguley receives the 2006 medal for his contribution towards the advancement of the molecular and cellular sciences and technologies in New Zealand.

Professor Bill Denny is the 2006 recipient of the Adrien Albert award of the Royal Australian Chemical Institute. This is the premier award of the Biomolecular Chemistry Division, and is given for “sustained, outstanding research in any field related to biomolecular chemistry and conducted wholly, or largely, within Australia and New Zealand”.

The Peter Gluckman Medal for 2006 has been jointly awarded to Professor Bruce Baguley and Professor Bill Denny. The award is presented to acknowledge the enormous dedication these researchers share and the subsequent contributions both have made in the field of cancer research and drug development. The award is intended to recognise distinguished contributions of current and former staff or students of the Faculty of Medical and Health Sciences. Fittingly, it has become the Faculty’s premier acknowledgement of research endeavours and just as fittingly in 2006, it is being shared. by two world class research scientists.
