Shared values are the cornerstone of any good community, but it’s the visions and aspirations that rise from these shared values that unleash the greatness within a community. Great communities foster great possibilities and even greater realities. DMB aspires to empower Main Beach to realise its greater possibilities and noble realities.

Noble and Higher Realities

We invest every dollar earned, donated, or contributed into TMBF – The Main Beach Foundation’s Empowered Patient Initiative.

The Main Beach Foundation

TMBF is a not-for-profit grassroots organisation that is working to improve cancer survival in our community through patient empowerment.

An Exponential Contribution

“Empowering a Community empowers its people and its patients, which increases cancer survival. It’s a simple but deeply impactful concept.” ~ SteveH

• A uniquely powerful synergy that rises up from a great community.
• The more aware, the more prepared, the more empowered patients.
• A community cancer CPR strategy.

DMB and TMBF and the Villagers of Main Beach have a unique opportunity to set this powerful example of greater community and noble contribution for others to follow.

The Empowered Patient Initiative

Increasing survival

Developing new innovative Empowerment resources that help improve cancer survival rates, by reducing unnecessary and avoidable cancer deaths due to lack of targeted knowledge and or access to it.

Next Generation Survivorship (NGS)

The Empowered Patient Initiative is a professional patient-led and patient-centric initiative that develops and implements new innovative next-generation patient empowerment resources. This better equips and empowers the patient’s capacity to mount a robust and effective response to an unexpected cancer diagnosis from the moment of diagnosis.

Building a Bridge to Cross

The Empowered Patient Initiative bridges the gap between science, medicine, community, and its patients.

It demystifies and simplifies; distilling complex bio genomics into understandable, useable, and actionable patient resources.

While science continues to provide the next big cancer cure breakthrough, as a community we can better utilise and implement what is already available – currently this is not happening. Throwing money at the cure is not the most effective strategy at a grassroots community level – empowering their people is.

In Conclusion

Whilst DMB is about great possibilities that lead to an exciting villager lifestyle here in Main Beach the higher reality lies just beneath the surface, so that is where the net result of our community effort flows toward. Consider this final observation;

A Reality Check: HEALTHY PEOPLE GET CANCER TOO; We are all healthy until we are not.

None of us can predict when we might face a cancer diagnosis. Even healthy individuals, including doctors, nurses, and scientists, are not immune. That’s why being well-equipped with knowledge and resources becomes a crucial advantage if we are ever unexpectedly diagnosed with a serious cancer.

Typically, cancer patients do not have the luxury of waiting for science’s next big medical breakthrough. However, we can better prepare ourselves with the most current evidence-based best practice resources available today.

Newly Diagnosed Patients, our fellow Villagers, do not know what they do not know, but absolutely must when unexpectedly diagnosed. The difference between not knowing and knowing literally can define survival outcomes – that’s what we help with!

While we cannot prevent cancer, we can better equip and empower the capacity to mount an effective and robust response that will improve survival chances.
