SUPPORTING Breast and Ovarian Cancer Research
On Sunday 10 May, I'm putting my foot down to save lives.
In 2019 I was diagnosed and treated for breast cancer. Like for many other survivors, my diagnosis took me by surprise, it wasn’t even on my radar until then. I did not have any of the widely advertised risk factors.
Let’s do our bit together to reduce breast and ovarian cancer rates by helping fund vital research and spreading awareness.
Tragically, every day in Australia 63 people are diagnosed and 12 lose their lives to breast or ovarian cancer.
Please make a donation today to support my challenge. There’s only one way to stop breast and ovarian cancers - together!
I am forever in debt to my treating doctors, family and friends.
Thank you for your support.

Hi Jean, My mentor Peter Shared a very powerful speech to me recently. Called the Man in the arena by Theodore Roosevelt. "It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat." I can see you there Jean. You are the lady in the arena ! There is always hope. Keep fighting, never give up.
