Following Greg’s diagnosis with Multiple Myeloma in late 2016, and initial treatment in 2017, he set out with the other five founding members to create the ZAMASA Foundation in 2018. This was typical of Greg and a testament to his strength of character and determination in all things. His dedication to improving treatments and raising awareness of Multiple Myeloma was only matched by his dedication to his family and friends. The name ‘ZAMASA’ is a tribute to Greg’s three sons Max, Zach and Sam Arandt. Greg displayed immense character and commitment, not only to his family, but also in business as a principal of ICA Partners, and in sport, especially cricket and golf and, later, sailing. Sadly, Greg passed away in May 2023.
