Felicity’s Story of Hope 💗

Her heartfelt reflections as she courageously shares her journey through grief, body image and relationships.

“Cancer changed my body. Loss and betrayal changed everything else. These were my challenges, but I know many cancer patients carry their own impossible loads. Parenting, financial pressure, caring for others, keeping a job—life doesn’t always wait for you to get well.”

Meet Emma 💗

Diagnosed in 2021 with an aggressive breast cancer at just 41, detected during her very first breast imaging after choosing early surveillance due to her mum’s diagnosis, Emma’s journey is one of resilience and strength.

Today, she’s not just a survivor, but a powerful advocate. Through her fundraising efforts, running events, and the unwavering support of her family and co-workers, Emma has raised over $25,000 for breast cancer research and support.

She’s lacing up once again for the HBF Run for a Reason, running in both memoriam and celebration of Nat and Lindy 💗

We are so grateful for Emma. For her sharing her story, for showing up for others, and for being an incredible Community Ambassador. No one should face breast cancer alone and thanks to people like Emma, fewer have to. 💕

Fatigue is one of the most debilitating side effects for people living with metastatic breast cancer (MBC) but movement can be powerful 💗

In our AREA study at Breast Cancer Research Centre WA, patients with MBC experiencing fatigue completed a 6-week physiotherapist-led exercise program 🧘‍♀️Two-thirds reported significant improvements in fatigue-related quality of life 🌻 along with better emotional, physical and overall wellbeing compared to controls.

We strongly encourage people living with metastatic breast cancer to consider participating in a guided exercise program, in consultation with their care team. Movement matters 🤸‍♀️ even during treatment.
