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!

Hey Vera, I just wanted to say thank you so much for doing Relay for Life. Cancer has affected my family a lot. I’ve lost a few loved ones, including my grandpa, and my dad is currently living with cancer. So what you’re doing really means a lot to me and my family. It honestly makes a difference in something that’s brought so much grief and heartbreak into our lives. Thank you for being part of that ❤️
