Local Dude
for Lung Cancer

In memory of Ian Dunlop — husband, father, friend, son. Walking, surfing, and living life to the fullest.

November 2026 · Community Walk

We will be hosting a community walk to shine a light on Lung Cancer. You are invited to walk with us in Ian's memory, sporting your Local Dude merch.

A life well lived

In September 2025, our beloved Husband, Father, Friend and Son, Ian Dunlop, passed away far too early from Stage 4 Lung Cancer.

The 'Local Dude' shirt was Ian's favourite, bought from a vintage store in Colombia. Now tattered and discoloured, it fittingly reflects 36 years of life well lived.

Recreated, to last

With thanks to the wonderful Georgia Perry, we have recreated our own to serve as a reminder of Ian's wonderful legacy and lust for life.

Present, always

Ian faced his illness with unimaginable bravery and never waivered in his positivity and ability to be present with his loved ones, especially his two little boys, Edward and Hugo.

He never stopped living life to the fullest, which is where the family motto was born:

"What would Ian
Dunlop do?"

Wear it. Walk with us.

All profits from the shirt are donated to Lung Foundation Australia.
