Thanks to you, we're one step closer to a cancer free future!
If you’ve come to my fundraising page, you likely know my story...or at least part of it.
11 surgeries, numerous specialists, and 3 different cancers later...hopefully we are coming to the tail end of what has so far been a 3 year process. Now it’s time to move from surgeries and treatment to management/medications and the rest of life!
1 in 2 Australian's will be diagnosed with cancer by the age of 85. Your support will help us change this terrible statistic and also assist the 28 South Australian's diagnosed with cancer every day and their families.
Every dollar raised will help Cancer Council SA invest in ground-breaking cancer research, empower people to reduce their own risk with prevention education, and provide essential support to everyone impacted by cancer.
Today, you can help Cancer Council SA work towards a cancer free future by supporting me in the Marilyn Jetty Swim. It is sure to be an unforgettable challenge that I will remember forever.
If you want to see me in make up and a blonde wig...I’m sure that’s worth handing over a few bucks!
Thank you for your support.
