Pink Hope Ambassadors – There are too many of you to thank individually but you know who you are. You are the stars of Pink Hope and the reason I wake up so passionate to see Pink Hope through, even during the most difficult days I will always get up and start work again … And all because of you.
Dr Kathy Tucker – Kathy you have held my hand through a pretty tough time. You always gave me the necessary facts and figures but you let me come to the right decision for me. You are changing so many lives and yet you always remain humble.
Prof Judy Kirk – Judy I will never forget the moment, in front of so many leaders of the oncology fraternity, when you said: ‘You did it, Krystal. You created Pink Hope and it’s such an incredible resource.’ That was one of the proudest moments of my career. You gave me such a boost that day!
Dr Megan Hassall – You rebuilt my breasts and my confidence. You have been there throughout my mum’s journey and now mine. Thank you for supporting us every step of the way.
Dr Mark Sywak – Having your skills on my team was one of the best decisions I made.

Tracey Bevan – Thank you for your guidance and support. You understand, more than anyone else, where true passion comes from. I know Jane would be so proud of everything you have done.

Karl Stefanovic – Thank you for giving my nan your personal phone number after our first interview. You offered so much support and kindness to our family. We will always be incredibly grateful to you and Cass.
Kirsty Thomson – You shared our story when preventative surgery was rarely discussed. You gave high risk families a voice and you continue to support the cause. Thank you.
