Friday&#8217;s Mayoral Charity Breakfast had a lot to take in &#8230; some exciting news, some troubling news and some delicious food.<\/p>\n<p>The breakfast &#8211; the official launch of the 2015 South Burnett Relay For Life fundraising campaign &#8211; was held at the recently re-opened Cassis restaurant at Booie (the former Belltower).<\/p>\n<p><strong>The exciting news included:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The names of the three captains who will be the guests at this year&#8217;s Relay For Life Captain&#8217;s Dinner in Kingaroy on July 25: rugby league legend <strong>Darren Lockyer<\/strong>, tennis great <strong>Evonne Goolagong Cawley<\/strong> and paralympian world champion <strong>Brendan Burkett<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>The naming of the 2015 &#8220;Face Of Relay&#8221; for the South Burnett: Wakka Wakka elder, cancer survivor and popular local teacher <strong>Eric Law<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>The release of a new &#8220;Relay For Life&#8221; purple Test cricket ball<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>The naming of a Cancer Council research grant after South Burnett Relay For Life patron <strong>Carl Rackemann and the Sportsman&#8217;s Dinner Committee<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>If this year&#8217;s Relay For Life in the South Burnett can raise $150,000, it will take the total amount of money raised in the last 10 years past $1 million.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>The troubling news included:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Cancer statistics presented by guest speaker Professor Jeff Dunn (see below)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>The news that the South Burnett Private Hospital may close at the end of June (see separate report)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>* * *<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><strong>Guest speaker was Cancer Council of Queensland CEO Professor Jeff Dunn, AO.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The leading oncologist said every year 25,000 Queenslanders would be diagnosed with cancer and 8300 would die.<\/p>\n<p>Over the past five years about 7000 people in the local region had been diagnosed with cancer and more than 640 had died.<\/p>\n<p>However, there were also 200,000 people alive who at one time or another had cancer.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Tobacco is still the leading cause of preventable disease in the community,&#8221; Prof Dunn said.<\/p>\n<p>However, he said things were getting better &#8230; during the 1950s about 70 per cent of the population smoked; it was now about 14 per cent.<\/p>\n<p>And as a result of the &#8220;Slip, Slop, Slap&#8221; campaign, the number of Queenslanders under 40 diagnosed with melanoma was dropping; at the same time, the number of Queenslanders over 40 with the disease was increasing.<\/p>\n<p>And some good news &#8230; the survival rate for women with breast cancer was improving.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The average survival rate for all cancers in the late 1980s was about 48 per cent; today in Queensland it is about 70 per cent because of more early detections and better treatments,&#8221; Prof Dunn said.<\/p>\n<p>However, if the community took full advantage of the various screenings available, mortality could be reduced even\u00a0more.<\/p>\n<p>Cancer researchers have a 25 x 25 target, ie. a 25 per cent reduction in all cancers by 2025 &#8211; but to achieve this, they need fundraising from the community.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Related article: <a href=\"http:\/\/southburnett.com.au\/news2\/2015\/05\/may-day-call-to-save-hospital\/\">May Day Call To Save
