Geelong Cats player Kate Darby has signed on as ambassador for Challenge Brain Cancer 2025.
Peace of Mind Foundation’s annual fundraiser invites individuals and teams to sign up to swim, run and ride throughout May to raise money to support brain cancer patients and their families.
Darby, who received a life membership from the club last year, also won the Cats’ Community Champion Award for the fourth time for her off-field contributions.
“I’m encouraging everyone, no matter your level of fitness, to get behind this fantastic event, which will help Peace of Mind provide hands-on, practical support for people diagnosed with brain cancer,” Ms Darby said.
“Brain cancer is an insidious disease which kills more people under 40 than any other cancer, and patients and families of all ages need as much support and compassion as possible.
“Challenge Brain Cancer will help fund the vital support programs and services to help patients and their loved ones navigate the incredibly challenging path from diagnosis through to bereavement.”
Peace of Mind Foundation founder and chief executive Rebecca Mallett thanked Ms Darby for her support.
“We’re thrilled to have Kate join us in support of Challenge Brain Cancer, which will help us continue to help hundreds of families impacted by brain cancer that reach out to us,” she said.
“We are hoping to expand our programs and services because there are so many in need, and so we’re hopeful this year we’ll have a record year for people signing up to our virtual fitness event to Challenge Brain Cancer.”
