I'm stepping up against cancer!

This year, I’m again taking on Relay For Life and raising funds for every person who’s ever heard the words: “you have cancer”. In 2024, more than 134, 000 Australians will receive the news. Among them are our friends, families and colleagues.

For me personally, cancer has touched my life in the following ways;

·         In 2009, I heard the words no parent ever wants to hear – your child has Leukemia. The next 2 years would see our amazingly strong daughter put up the fight of her life – and thankfully win! Our cancer survivor.

·         In 2022, just 5 months after losing my Father-in-Law, my Mother-in-Law lost her 2 year battle with Pancreatic cancer, one of the toughest cancers to face

·         Earlier this year, my Mum lost her fight to Myelofibrosis, a rare blood cancer that turns bone marrow to scar tissue.

With your support, I hope to help as many people impacted by cancer as possible. Together, we can support families when they need it most, empower people to reduce their risk, speak up for communities, and find new ways to better detect and treat cancer.

Every step I take is one closer to a cancer free future. But I can’t do it alone! Please donate to my Relay today and together, we can help Cancer Council provide life-changing support services, advocacy, prevention and research across Australia.

Together we can make powerful strides against cancer!
