CiCi originally began raising money for cancer many years ago through fun run events and voluntary work. Then in early 2001, whilst working as an Oncology Massage Therapist in Melbourne hospitals, CiCi became very aware of the challenges and hardships endured by so many families living with cancer. “This was not only a physical and emotional trauma but a financial one as well. There had to be more we could do to provide support”.

In 2005, CiCi founded and is a Director of the Stand By You Cancer Foundation, and with a small management committee began fundraising, “we believe, from our work with people living with cancer, that we can ease some of the pressures involved in chronic illness”. www.standbyyou.org.au
