Stars of Tamworth 2024

Check out my moves as I dance for a cancer free future!

I am joining the 2024 production of Stars of Tamworth Dance for CancerΒ to support Cancer Council in their mission for a cancer free future.

Because 1 in 2 Australians will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime, I’m bringing everyone together to show off my dance moves to raise much needed funds and show my support to those in our community affected by cancer. Β 

Please support me on this page to support cancer research, advocacy, prevention programs and local vital support services for Australians living with cancer.

Thank you for your generous donation. Together, we can free the future from cancer!

My Updates

Charity Night Auction - Friday 30th August

Hey!Β 

I'll be carving up the dancefloor at the Cancer Council's 'Stars of Tamworth' this September with my daughter Stella. To raise funds, I'd love for you to join me for an auction hosted by our local MP, Kevin Anderson, on Friday 30 August at The Courthouse Hotel. I've pulled together an incredible lineup of items donated by some of Australia's top sporting legends including signed items by former Chicago Bulls basketballer, Luc Longley, local Australian cricket legend Josh Hazlewood, Group 1 jockey Hugh Bowman and NRL signed jerseys. If you're not into sports, there are some great holidays and experiences that you can bid on. The more, the merrier, so please extend this invite to your crew and RSVP ASAP. I'd love to see you there. Let's have some fun while fundraising!

Why I am dancing (poorly)

Cancer affects every person in the world, either directly or indirectly. It is our responsibility to do everything possible to reduce and ultimately eliminate its impact on our lives.

In February 2009, I had a profound encounter with cancer when my dear sister Melanie was diagnosed with Stage 4 Small Cell Neuroendocrine Cancer of the Cervix. Sadly, within 7 months, on September 1st, 2009, she lost her battle. Despite her unwavering strength and determination, she absorbed everything she could to give it her best shot. During that challenging time, our family stood together, supporting Mel, her husband Phil, and her two young children, Meg (5 years old) and Max (16 months old) when she passed away.

I have accepted this challenge to raise awareness about how people can improve their chances of fighting cancer through education and adopting a healthier lifestyle. I also encourage regular checkups, just like you would take your car for a yearly service. While our government is making progress in cancer prevention, we still need to put more effort into finding simple solutions focused on preventative rather than reactive measures.Β 

My goal is to raise awareness and provide everyone with a better chance at a longer and healthier life in honour of my beautiful sister Melanie.

Thanks for sharing - amazing effort so far Wadeo! Reading through this today, of course it brought back so many memories of what I saw what Mel meant to you. Despite experiencing my own grief recently with mum and dad, I cannot comprehend losing a sister, a daughter. Your strength is so admirable. Only too happy to support.
