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 at showing off his culinary skills.

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.

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’s joining the fight to #ForkCancer for his loved ones who have been impacted by this devastating disease. 

Paula Vidale, along with her daughter Mia and her niece, Haylee are passionate about finding a cure for cancer. The trio 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. 

Team PMH loves to get creative with their fundraising efforts and in 2022 included everything from a fashion runway to live drawings of their guests! 

As a seventh-time host, Trish’s battle to #ForkCancer is personal. She was only 46 when she found a lump in her breast, turning her life into a rollercoaster ride of appointments with doctors, nurses, psychologists and countless treatments that helped her to keep fighting. 

Trish was lucky to have a targeted therapy available to her that saved her life. Thanks to researchers working hard in their labs we have access to treatments like Trish’s, but we still need more – and Trish will keep fighting to #ForkCancer until we do!
