Pink is the Colour

Pink is the colour of care

In honour of our beautiful daughter and sister, we are raising funds for the McGrath Foundation — a charity very close to her heart and one she personally chose to support.

Throughout her breast cancer journey, the care and support of McGrath Breast Care Nurses meant so much to her and our family. We will be forever grateful for the kindness, knowledge and compassion of nurses including Jenelle, Carmel and Danni, who supported Carmel and our family through some incredibly difficult times.

By donating in her honour, you will be helping to ensure that other individuals and families facing breast cancer have access to the same invaluable care and support.

This is a small way for us to honour her and the incredible impact she had on those who knew and loved her. Thank you for helping us continue her legacy and support a cause that meant so much to her.

With love and gratitude,

Carmel’s family

Carmel was always kind throughout our shared time at Mt Alvernia. Many years later I sat next to her on a flight and the kindness had not changed. I’m so sorry that her journey was cut short. I know she will be so very missed.
