For Our Dad, Robert Rumore

In August 2025, we lost Robert Rumore, a much loved Father, partner, brother, friend and son. To brain cancer. He fought so bravely for 21 months — with courage, love, and a smile, right until the end.

During that time, the Peace of Mind Foundation was there for us. They guided our family through the fear and confusion, connected us with services that could help.

Peace of Mind is Australia’s leading brain cancer support charity — but they receive no government funding. Every bit of help they give to families like ours comes purely from donations.

Each year, around 2,000 Australians are diagnosed with brain cancer. Survival rates haven’t improved in over 30 years, and 80% of those diagnosed won’t live beyond five years.

Our family is raising funds in his memory — to honour his fight and help others.
Funds will be split between:

1. The Peace of Mind Foundation, to continue supporting families living with brain cancer.

2. The purchase and donation of a Sara Steady mobility aid (approx $3,300) to Rockingham Hospital, in Rob’s name.

When Rob lost his mobility, the Sara Steady

Became the only safe way for him to transfer.

Through his many hospital stays, he realised Rockingham Hospital didn’t have enough of these devices and asked us to donate one in his memory, after he passed.

This wish also continues a family tradition — Robs father, Joe Rumore- arranged for hospital equipment to be donated in his name after he passed, and Rob wanted to carry this tradition on.

This November, our family will honour Rob’s memory through Paddling for Peace of Mind and for Rockingham hospitals donation.

— I’ll be kayaking 300 kilometres (10 kilometres a day for 30 days) along Rockingham Foreshore to raise awareness and funds.

Every donation, no matter how small, makes a real difference.
For Rob.

For every family still fighting.
