I'm helping to #ForkCancer by hosting a Longest Table!

This July, I'm hosting a Longest Table to raise money for life-changing cancer research. Sadly, almost 452 Australians are diagnosed with cancer every day - that's 74 friends, parents, workmates and kids during the time it takes to host a meal.

My Mums diagnosis of a rare, incurable cancer, 15 years after her non-Hodgkins lymphoma, shocked us all. Her Merkel Small Cell Carcinoma was aggressive, hard to treat and she was gone in 6 months.

I learnt that there were no specialist skin cancer nurses where she was being treated in a top teaching public hospital in Sydney.

I want to do something to make a difference for everyone, but especially so others don’t have to watch their loved ones suffer like Mum did.

Please donate to my Table - every dollar raised helps change these statistics by funding life-changing cancer research through The Hospital Research Foundation Group.

I will use my cooking skills and networking to host a table for us all to advocate, in memory of those we have lost or who are still fighting this insidious disease.

Let's #ForkCancer together!
