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.
Please donate to my Table - every dollar raised helps change these statistics by funding life-changing cancer research through The Hospital Research Foundation Group.
Let's #ForkCancer together!

Honouring Two Mothers, One Legacy of Love
This July, I’m hosting a Longest Table to honour two incredible women who shaped my life:
💛 Annabelle Roman (Benton) – a proud Larrakia Elder, strong matriarch, and the woman I was blessed to call Mum through marriage and heart. Her cultural strength, fire, and wisdom live on in all of us.
💛 Janet Ethel Crump – my beautiful birth mum, whose love and gentleness gave me my first strength in this world.
Cancer took them both far too soon. But this Table is my tribute — a celebration of their lives, their stories, and the way their love continues to guide me.
Together, let’s raise funds for life-changing cancer research through @hospitalresearch and help create a future free from this disease.

🔥 Annabell’s Fire – A Larrakia Table of Healing
Wednesday 18th Jun🔥 Annabelle’s Fire – A Larrakia Table of Healing
This July, I’m hosting The Longest Table in honour of Annabelle Roman (Benton) — a proud Larrakia Elder, a fierce matriarch, and the woman I was truly blessed to call Mum.
Annabelle was my mother-in-law, but to me, she was simply Mum — strong, wise, and full of fire. Her spirit lit up everyone around her. She was a protector, a guide, and a bridge between generations and cultures. Her legacy continues to burn brightly in the hearts of those who knew and loved her.
Sadly, cancer took Mum too soon — as it has taken so many of our loved ones. That’s why this Longest Table means so much. It’s more than a meal. It’s a chance to gather on Larrakia Country, share stories, honour her memory, and raise funds for life-changing cancer research.
💛 Every meal shared, every dollar raised, helps fund research that brings hope and healing.
Let’s keep Annabelle’s fire burning — for healing, for hope, and for the generations to come.
