I'm remembering loved friends and family to help create a cancer free future.

Hi Friends,

It is literally far too raw and recent the past few months of this year, that I have farewelled my hugely kind sister-in-law. A much respected, passionate, loving mother and wife, incredibly respected within her community. And also to an incredibly inspiring, kind, genuine friend, piss-taker, mentor/coach, dad and husband. Not only to my boy, but the huge gift of self he gave to our whole local junior AFL Club. Both of whom are beautiful kind people who gave so widely without question, and are gone, far too young. Lost to Bowel and Ovarian Cancer.

Several besties have been struggled but have beaten Breast Cancer.

Can you believe an astonishing 1 in 2 Australians will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime... ?

I’m joining my work family at Publicis on Thursday, 21st August to particpate in the Cancer Council Daffodil Day Challenge aka 'Le Dip'.

I will be diving into an incredibly FREEZING swimming pool to help fundraise for the Cancer Council. Who provide hope, love, support and provide vital services to so many Australians living with cancer.

As a single parent, non-home owner, navigating two teenage boys through high school; I don't have a choice but to understand the struggle of cost of living. Fortunately my boys and myself, we have our health.

I thank you for your generous donation, big or small.
From my story to yours.

Together, we can help the Cancer Council research and support our families, loved ones and future friends from cancer.

The more you give, the longer I will stay in the icy winter depths. 

Please do... 
Thank you.
Wortho
