Mark Cowley: Ryder’s Story – A Powerful Reminder of What’s Possible with Precision Medicine

Mark Cowley, Deputy Director of Children’s Cancer Institute and Associate Professor at the UNSW School of Women’s and Children’s Health, shared a post on LinkedIn:

“Meet Ryder – a brave young boy whose journey is a powerful reminder of what’s possible with Precision Medicine.

Ryder’s journey highlights the incredible progress being made in tackling Childhood Cancer, even its most aggressive forms like ATRT Brain Cancer, while reminding us of the work still ahead to ensure every child has the chance to thrive.

Watch his inspiring story.

Sharing Ryder’s story is a privilege for all of us at Children’s Cancer Institute. It’s a testament to the dedication of teams across our hospital system, the Zero Childhood Cancer program, and the incredible support of our wider community. Each day, we’re moving closer to better outcomes for kids with cancer.

A heartfelt thank you to Ryder, his incredibly brave parents, Kelly and Alan, Dr Marion Mateos, and the talented production team at SALT STUDIO for bringing this story to life. Meeting Kelly and Alan at the Diamond Ball was such a highlight – their courage and commitment are truly inspiring. And yes, you’ll even spot a small cameo from me in the video, though the real stars are Ryder and his family.”
