Kate is the creative manager at Ray White Surry Hills and is currently raising money for the Chris O'Brien Lifehouse. All donations help provide compassionate, research-driven cancer care, as well as holistic support services that ease the burden of distance for regional patients.
“Our office took part in this fundraising campaign last year, however this year it's a bit different for me, because I was diagnosed with stage 2B breast cancer in October 2023,” she said.
“The Chris O'Brien Lifehouse is amazing, and I'm so thankful for the supportive staff at their facility who have assisted me in my cancer journey.
“I completed Go The Distance last year with my workplace, and am very much looking forward to this year too, even though it's a bit different for me this time around as I now have cancer myself.
“My cancer diagnosis has lit a bit of a fire from within me to want to do more for my local cancer community - it's nice to be able to give back.”
During this challenging period in her life, Kate had chosen to return to work at the Ray White Surry Hills office.
“I have continued to work throughout my treatment to try to retain as much normalcy as possible,” Kate said.
“So many aspects of my life have changed, and I have found that working throughout my treatment has worked well for me, even though I was given the opportunity to take a break.
“There have certainly been times throughout the last year where I have really struggled, but knowing that I have an amazing workplace that has been so flexible and kind to me during treatment has certainly made it all achievable for me.
“I'm so grateful to my family, friends, and work, who have been incredibly supportive to me during this chapter of my life. I'm so lucky to be surrounded by people who genuinely care about me and I'm so grateful for that.
“Our team is top tier and I'm so thankful for their love and support during this time of my life.”
Kate and her team are currently aiming to raise $3,000 for the Chris O'Brien Lifehouse.
