We Marilyns are united by shared cancer experience and together, we are determined to do something positive: raise funds that will change the lives of people impacted by cancer.
Fundraising can be daunting, but your efforts really do make a big difference, Darling!
To date, our Marilyns have raised over $1.79 million that has helped fund Cancer Council SA's vital prevention, research and support programs for thousands of South Australian families every year.
Every dollar you raise goes a long way in ensuring no one has to go through cancer alone.
When you register as a Marilyn, you'll have access to tried and tested fundraising tips and tools, plus a dedicated team ready to support you and help you reach your goals.
