Welcome from the Chairman
 

Dino De Marchi, Chairman.
Dear Reader,

I welcome you to our web site that provides information relating to the life of the late Sir Edward 'Weary' Dunlop and the Medical Research Foundation that bears his name.

Weary Dunlop, soldier, surgeon and great Australian, demonstrated a lifelong dedication to helping others. It was due to his heroic and selfless efforts during the Second World War, along with those of his medical colleagues, that many Australian prisoners of war survived to return home to their families and a grateful, free Australia. He was a man of great stature in every sense of the word.


The Sir Edward Dunlop Medical Research Foundation has immortalised Weary's dream - to help mankind through medical research - by promoting medical research for the benefit of the veteran community and, subsequently, all Australians.

Together with the members of the Board of the Foundation, I am proud and honoured to be associated with the endeavours of this great Australian and it is a privilege to be able to perpetuate Weary's ideals.

I hope you will find this site informative and that it will encourage you to become a volunteer or to make a contribution to the Foundation, particularly during the inaugural Weary Dunlop Annual Appeal from 12 July to 25 July, so that together we can continue Weary Dunlop's important work.



DINO DE MARCHI
CHAIRMAN
