How long have you been involved with Camp Quality?

My parents (Brett & Cathy) are founders of the Superheroes ACT (with Ivan & Anna). They've been volunteering and involved in fundraising events for Camp Quality for over a decade. l've helped out here and there, volunteering with their fundraising events, particularly the Classic Cruise. This year I'm taking a more active role in event prep and marketing for the big 10 years!

 

Why is CQ important to you?

The work of Camp Quality is very close to my heart. Last year I lost my best friend, Alissia, to breast cancer. She is a mother of a now 4 year old little girl. I've witnessed first hand how horrific this diagnosis can be. Not just for Liss, but the confusion and heartbreak it's caused her baby girl. Not every journey has a happy ending, but the education, distraction and support of Camp Quality is invaluable in making the dark times a little bit lighter, for patients and their families. I will forever support this organisation so they can continue providing these critical services.

 

Who is your Superhero character and why?

My superhero is Ghost Spider, one of Spidey's Amazing Friends! My two young boys love the series and always say she's me. Plus she's a girl boss with attitude who wears a hoodie - seems like the perfect fit!
