'Bailey's Day' is named after Bailey, the son of Kerryn and Patrick Tessier, who died of a brain tumour in 2004 at just two and a half years old.

While Bailey was being treated, the Tessiers were amazed that due to a lack of sufficient funding, only one oncologist  - Dr Peter Downie – was employed and his time was divided between Southern Health's Monash's Children's and the Royal Children's Hospital meaning that children with cancer were only being treated two days a week.

Thus the idea for 'Bailey's Day' was conceived and the annual charity golf day, auction and luncheon has raised over $1 Million over the last seven years.

These very welcome funds are used by the Monash Medical Centre in Clayton to fund the employment of a clinical fellow at its Children's Cancer Centre meaning that children with cancer are now being treated every single day of the week. As well we aim to donate a significant sum to the Murdoch Children's Research Institute to fund further research into brain tumour biology.
