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!

Less than 2 weeks!

It is less than 2 weeks until the Cairns Relay for Life. We have a great team committing to support the Cancer Council at this event. I am grateful for all the support and for those who have donated for this worthy cause.

Glioblastoma Cancer

More than 300 Queenslanders are diagnosed with brain cancer every year. For glioblastoma, the most aggressive type, few people survive beyond 14 months after diagnosis. This figure has not improved in 30 years. What you may not know is my granddad, who I never got to meet and who I am named after, died from this form of cancer.
