Our Ambassadors

Our bright and bubbly Adelady girls, Hayley and Lauren, are back for their TENTH year as TLT ambassadors! You may recognise the girls from their weekly TV show on Channel 9 or their magazine and socials celebrating the best of South Australia!

Raising over $531,000 for cancer research in the last nine years with partners G-Fresh, they are continuing to #ForkCancer to stop the heartbreak this terrible disease causes families. 

This year, the duo are getting their tropical kaftans ready for a glamorous night to fight bowel cancer at Sunnybrae Estate!

Brenton is a Longest Table veteran having hosted every year since inception in 2013! 

Having had loved ones touched by cancer, Brenton sees The Longest Table as a great way to give to a good cause whilst having fun and showing off his culinary skills. Brenton's Longest Table has travelled across the world, showcasing the best dishes from his favourite cuisines. In 2022 he took his guests to Modena in Italy!

After working in the corporate world for 30 years, Greer decided to pursue her love of art full-time. Greer loves what she does and has always been generous with her art, donating pieces to raise funds and donating profits from her sales to the causes close to her heart.

Greer’s mum and dad are both survivors of cancer—her dad fought renal cancer and her mum battled lung cancer. Greer believes we can all do something to contribute to the fight against cancer, whether it’s fighting for prevention or a cure.

Nancy and Vince from the LiViN' Podcast share life's ups and downs and their lessons learned on their weekly podcast inspiring others to keep on livin'...L-I-V-I-N!

Having lost too many loved ones to this deadly disease, Nancy and Vince are ready to #ForkCancer with their second solo Longest Table in 2026.

Packed full of energy and zest for life, the pair are ready to spread hope for a future free from cancer!

Leah Baylis, mum of three and founder of Champagne Recruitment,  knows all too well the importance of early detection and ongoing research.

At 42, Leah was diagnosed with stage 3 hormone-receptive breast cancer, which was rapidly spreading but hadn't been detected in self-checks or mammograms. 

After undergoing a double mastectomy, Leah now enjoys precious everyday moments with her family, and this year she's back at The Longest Table for the second time, committed to improving breast cancer research for her daughter’s future.

Kathryn spends most days fighting cancer in her role as Institute Manager for SAiGENCl, the South Australian immunoGENomics Cancer Institute.

Having worked in medical research for over 20 years, Kathryn knows firsthand how the vital funds you raise can help researchers to fight cancer. 

Starting small in her first year of hosting, Kathryn has since grown her events to include themes and activities to encourage more donations from her guests.

Stefan has the cheekiest grin – in fact he’s built and branded his beloved eastern suburbs coffee shop around his signature smile! 

Stefan started his business as a mobile coffee cart to cater for a variety of events in Adelaide, but soon the pandemic hit... and he had to get creative! Stefan opened the doors to Cheeky Grin Coffee in the back shed of his family home in an effort to keep his community connected over a chat, a few laughs and a delicious brew. 

Stefan fought the doom and gloom of the pandemic, and now he continues to #ForkCancer for his loved ones who have been impacted by this devastating disease. 

Paula Vidale and her daughter Mia are passionate about finding a cure for cancer. The pair have been hosting with The Longest Table since 2020 to honour the friends and family they have lost to cancer and their loved ones who are still fighting this heartbreaking disease. 

The showstopping duo loves to get creative with their fundraising efforts and in 2023 featured a live fashion runway!
