our ambassadors

"I’m not a scientist but I can help raise awareness about our dedicated, young, Aussie scientists who are trying to find a cure for cancer"

“It’s so fun and so wonderfully Aussie! All you have to do is host a barbecue – something we all do in summer.”

“Every day in Australia, 330 people are diagnosed with cancer. It’s a problem we all need to pitch in and help fix.”

“We are lucky to have some of the best cancer researchers in the world working right here in Australia. To continue their vital work, they need our support.”

“It’s absolutely vital to support Cure Cancer’s researchers. These are the people that are going to solve the mystery and cure this disease that touches everyone one of us in one way or another.”

Karen has come onboard to support Cure Cancer’s BarbeCURE campaign and it’s message to help continue to fund life-saving cancer research.

“As a mum of four, I know that childhood cancer is every parent’s worst nightmare. Three children die every week from cancer here in Australia, and the only way we can change that is by supporting lifesaving cancer research”

"We can all make a difference and I love that BarbeCURE is not elitist, but is something every Australian can participate in"

“Food has no borders. A barbecue brings friends and family together, creating memories and laughter and now you can raise important funds for cancer research to help find a cure.”

“It's an absolute pleasure to support BarbeCURE. My family has personally been affected by cancer a number of times so I think there's probably no better cause to support. To do it in the Aussie fashion of the barbecue, there's no better way.”

“Cancer is such an insidious, indiscriminate disease it doesn’t matter how fit, old or strong you are it’s the one thing that can still take you out. Together we can make a difference.”

"Everyone knows someone who has battled cancer. Research is the key to finding a cure for cancer so let's give to research.”

"I am thrilled to be an ambassador for Cure Cancer and to promote healthy, tasty and easy recipes for BarbeCURE and World’s Biggest Dinner that the whole family will enjoy."

“Cure cancer and eat BBQ? I mean seriously, why wouldn’t I support BarbeCURE???”

“I have experienced it in my family and I have witnessed some friends experience it .. it doesn't care how old you are, where you come from, what gender you are”

“Having experienced my own father go through cancer and despite always being a healthy person… This inspired me to not only do all I can for my own health but also encourage others to be more active and live a healthy lifestyle.”

“Cure Cancer's commitment to helping young, innovative Australian scientists find a cure through practical and direct funding is a cause I passionately and wholeheartedly support.“

“Cancer is the top killer across the globe. Almost everyone I know has been affected by cancer in some way.  

Our scientists are on the verge of major breakthroughs, and I want to support them.”

"Knowing the impact on families and the success of past research, helping to raise funds and awareness for Cure Cancer has always been very important to me."

"How could you not want to help a cause like Cure Cancer? I encourage everyone to enthusiastically support BarbeCURE by hosting a Barbie and raising some money."

"Cure Cancer changed my life. They supported me and backed my ideas early in my career."

2020 has further highlighted the need for the entire community to support the individuals within it. Individuals who may be struggling with any number of issues including cancer.
