Our CEO Jay received a phone call from Jason Laurie, from Cement Australia

Our CEO Jay received a phone call from Jason Laurie, fleet manager at Cement Australia whose wife Renee lost her sister Lisa to melanoma.

Jason had happened to find just the thing the Foundation needed – a retired 2006 Mercedes-Benz Atego, with hardly any kilometres on it.

“He found this truck in Queensland, an ex-Breastscreen truck,” Jay says.

“24 hours later I raced up there, and Jason flew down to the border in his own time. He had this big white truck, and we ended up getting it very cheap. We loved it.

“Now it’s got the awning, clinical rooms, a kitchen, reception area. The rest is history. We self-funded this truck, and got it wrapped.

“Its name is - Australia’s Skin Check Truck!”

“When we bought it, it only had 33,000km. It now has 56,000km. We’re certainly doing the miles!

“Now we are chasing our second truck to save more lives across the country.”
