My why

Hey family and friends🩷

In March I will be taking part in Mater’s “Chicks in Pink” Breast Cancer fundraising 5km walk. It’s a cause that’s close to my heart as a breast cancer survivor. A lot of you will be aware I had treatment for breast cancer in 2021-2023 and all of my treatment was through the Mater. They really made a terrifying experience a positive one and I am still so very grateful for their care and ongoing support they have provided to me and my family.

Sadly 1 in 7 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime and some men too. At some stage in your life you will know someone with breast cancer. 

When I was first diagnosed I was really the first one in my family and circle of friends to have been diagnosed, but have since connected with many women who have been through breast cancer and sadly have followed along the journeys of those women who have died from this disease. It really is an awful disease like so many other cancers and it’s really confronting to see that treatment is not always successful for some.

I try really hard to put that time of my life in the past as it’s not only triggering but terrifying looking death in the face. It does however make me incredibly grateful for a second chance to be here with my beautiful family, appreciative of the little moments in life and to just be present and soak it all in🩷 I don’t take any of that for granted.

I hope you will consider supporting me and those women who are currently in the thick of it, it truly is a wonderful cause🌸

Appreciate those who read this far🥰

I’m part of the International Women’s Day Fun Run!

I'm raising funds to support women with breast cancer now and into the future. 

By making a donation, you can play a part in improving treatments and care for women diagnosed with breast cancer.  

When you donate, you’re helping to support counselling services and supply practical items like mastectomy bras and wigs after surgery and chemotherapy.  

You’ll also be supporting world leading research that focuses on improving survival rates and working towards a world where ALL women diagnosed with breast cancer survive. 

Ultimately, you’ll help make life easier for women with breast cancer today and save more lives tomorrow. 

As little as $65 can make a profound impact and take some of the stress off women with breast cancer and their families. Please, if you possibly can, will you donate today? 

  • Thanks to your support, Michelle Cunningham has raised enough for 6.0 hours of research lab time.
