Dear family and friends,

Please help raise funds to give me the gift of my lifetime - a beautiful glass photographic portrait of myself by world-renowned portrait and fashion photographer Robbie Merritt - and support the work of an incredible local charity - Cancer Support WA.

Please show your support by sponsoring my portrait.

Thank you

Dr. Ian Gawler's Story

A long-term cancer survivor, Dr. Ian Gawler OAM was diagnosed with bone cancer and his right leg was amputated in 1975. However, the disease recurred later that year. Drawing upon an integrated approach, he experienced a remarkable recovery.

Since 1981 when Ian began one of the world's first lifestyle-based cancer support groups, his has work expanded in three ways. One aspect is the focus on healing, another involves professional trainings and speaking engagements, while the third focuses on disease prevention, health and wellbeing. Ian has helped many people in their quest for peace of mind, good health and spiritual fulfilment.

Ian is well known as a pioneer in Mind-Body Medicine and therapeutic meditation. He is a long-term cancer survivor and an articulate advocate for a healthy lifestyle. The author of 6 bestselling books, Ian has spent the last 30 years developing a wide range of self-help techniques that integrate lifestyle practices, such as a healthy diet, regular exercise and meditation with contemporary medicine.

Help support the ongoing work of Cancer Support WA by sponsoring Ian's my portrait. Ian, like all of the You Are Beautiful participants, has been affected by cancer and your donations (of any size) are sincerely appreciated!

Thank you
