I often wonder if I'd still be here today if it wasn't for the cancer research breakthroughs of the past few years.
Delta Goodrem
I am truly in awe of all the time and effort that goes into finding a cure for the illnesses that so many children have. I can't say how much pride I have knowing this research is going on in my backyard -a huge thank you.
Swimming sensation, Libby Lenton
We heap praise on our sports stars and applaud our actors but many Australians don't realise that we are serious heavy hitters in health and medical research. We can achieve many things in our lives but nothing is more important than our health.
Actor, Ben Mendelsohn
As a mother of two children I appreciate the efforts of health and medical researchers who are contributing to a better quality of life for all Australians and for future generations.
Olympic Gold Medallist, Samantha Riley
Thank you on behalf of the government and people of Australia because medical research has not only improved the lives of Australians and the lives of people around the world but it embodies so much of the idealism which I like to think is part of the Australian character.
The Hon Tony Abbott MP, Federal Health Minister
All of us are going to be touched by medical research in some way at some stage. The researchers are the heroes who largely don't become celebrities and it is wonderful to give them the opportunity to be thanked for what they have achieved.
Olympic Gold Medallist, Kieran Perkins
My words of encouragement for researchers are to always look for new ways to challenge what's been done in the past.
Cricketer, Ricky Ponting
I want to say thank you to all the medical researchers around the world... Your help brings us a bigger, better, healthier place.
Essendon footballer, Adam Ramanauskas
The symmetry of "Thank You" Day is fantastic. On the one hand thousands of Australians thanking the medical research community for the advances that have been made. On the other hand the researchers - poor blind folks, stumblinng around in the dark trying to prise another secret out of nature. It's not easy. Its 5% inspiration 95% perspiration. Now its our chance to thank the community back. That's what's lovely about Research Australia and "Thank You" Day.
Sir Gus Nossal AC and Research Australia Patron
We want to thank Graeme Clark. His Cochlear implant has transformed our daughter Sophie's life. Never in our wildest dreams did we think that she would be able to hear and live in a hearing world. She's doing well at school, loves to play the piano, takes jazz, tap and ballet dance classes and is learning to speak Chinese.
Author of Mao's Last Dancer, Li Cunxin
