Lismore and Villages 2026

I'm stepping up against cancer!

This year, I’m taking on Relay For Life to raise funds for every person who’s ever heard the words: “you have cancer”. In 2024, more than 150, 000 Australians will receive the news. Among them are our friends, families and colleagues.

Cancer is a devastating disease for so many. For people living with cancer, their treatments can be long and stressful. For those without solutions, the future can be uncertain. It’s a concern shared by their loved ones.

But 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.

Thank you for stepping up. Together we’ll make powerful strides against cancer!

Why I’m Relaying

Ron and I have been part of RFL since it started in Lismore in 2000.
At that time I’d just lost a close friend to cancer and I was participating for her. By 2008 I had been diagnosed and I was relaying for several friends as well as myself (wearing a Survivor sash- Ron wore a Carer sash).
Within a few years other family members had had cancer diagnoses and I joined the committee as Survivors and Carers coordinator. In the lead up to2020 (cancelled through Covid) I initiated a new category ‘Living with Cancer’ after a friend Anna with Stage 4 BC told me she didn’t feel she could wear a Survivor sash. 
This year is different. I have been diagnosed with Stage 4 metastatic BC in my spine. So I too am Living with Cancer and will wear that new sash and remember Anna.
Please join our RFL as an individual, your own team or join mine. And see you there in March! Together we can work towards a cancer free future.
