WHY I'M DOING IT
In 2021 Mum died 12 days after a leukaemia diagnosis. During the 12 days my brother was diagnosed with Prostate cancer, and passed away in 2025. We discovered my brother had the BRCA 2 gene which makes you more susceptible to cancer and the cancer more aggressive. I am having genetic testing done soon to see if I also have the gene.
When researching my family history I found cancer in all sides and in every generation. Fuck Cancer!
Each day in February I'm hitting the water for SurFebruary and raising funds for cancer research at Chris O'Brien Lifehouse.
The reality is that one in two of us will be affected by cancer in our lifetime. That’s a pretty big statistic. The good news is that we can make a tangible impact on how we treat cancer by contributing to innovative cancer research that benefits us all.
It only takes a minute to donate and anything you can give (no matter how big or small) will go a long way to helping people with cancer and their families.
Thank you, I really appreciate your support.
See you in the water!
So proud of you sis. Love you xx
