Help me create a cancer free future!

I’m hosting a Girls’ Night In to change the future for all Queensland women.

Every day almost 12 Queensland women will hear those dreaded words, “you have cancer” and while the survival rate has increased, there is still more work to be done.

That’s why I’m bringing everyone together - to raise funds to get us closer to a future free from women’s cancers.

I would love for your support!  Come along to my Girls’ Night In or donate today on this page.  

By supporting my Girls’ Night In, you will contribute to freeing the future from cancer. 

Your support will be powering vital research, prevention and support services. Making a difference to so many in their most vulnerable time, now and into the future.

Together, we can create a future for all Queensland women.

Golden Downs Girls Night In 30 Oct 2025

Thursday 29th May
Golden Downs Lifestyle Community has a great tradition of supporting Cancer Council Queensland.  The annual "Girls Night In" was set up about 7 years ago by Bev Laidlaw following the  loss of one of her sons to cancer.  Bev has stepped down from organising the event this year, although she remains an integral part of the team, and myself and a team of residents have volunteered to run this year's event.                                                                                                        As some of you may be aware I am fairly new to Golden Downs having moved her in September 2024.  Following a routine mammogram earlier this year I was diagnosed with breast cancer and having undergone surgery I am due to start radiotherapy in June 2025.  
The work of Cancer Council Queensland is critical to not only finding effective research to bring an end to many cancers but also supporting individuals and their families facing cancer.
