Lady Sonia McMahon

The Board of Trustees, management, staff and supporters of the Australian Cancer Research Foundation wish Lady McMahon’s family our sincerest condolences. 

Lady McMahon was a Founding Trustee and Life Member of the Australian Cancer Research Foundation (ACRF), which last year celebrated its silver anniversary. 

Chief Executive of the ACRF, David Brettell said this morning  “We will miss Lady McMahon greatly. Not only was she a shining star, charming and  generous with her time and energy, she was also a totally committed Trustee, always available to share her extensive experience.”

“She participated consistently and with real commitment to the mission and growth of the Foundation, attending and playing a critical role on the Board. Her contribution helped to ensure the Foundation remained focused on its core purpose of funding infrastructure and capital works for projects at the forefront of medical science in this country.”

“Lady McMahon has seen her contribution to the Foundation, over twenty-five years, result in an unprecedented $60 million plus in private funding to breakthrough cancer research projects. Her legacy will inspire us to redouble our efforts” said Mr Brettell.
