Our Story
Cancer was never something we imagined would be part of our lives. We were young, active, and health-conscious, yet we suddenly found ourselves facing a battle we never expected.
In our thirties, both of us were diagnosed with breast cancer—first Meagan, then Heather—forever changing our paths. Through the toughest days, we leaned on each other, finding strength, comfort, and even moments of laughter in the midst of uncertainty.
Our journeys became deeply intertwined, from undergoing the same surgery just a week apart to navigating treatment, recovery, and the emotional weight of a new reality. We discovered that healing is more than just physical—it’s about rebuilding, finding community, and embracing life after cancer with a renewed sense of purpose.
Our People
Meet Chan – our newest Breast Foot Forward ambassador
After being misdiagnosed with thyroid cancer in July 2023, Chan’s health journey has been nothing short of relentless. Just one week after entering remission, she found a lump under her arm — and once again had to fight to be heard. That lump turned out to be Stage 3 HER2+ Invasive Ductal Carcinoma.
Since then, she’s powered through 6 rounds of aggressive chemo and is now preparing for a bilateral mastectomy and reconstruction in just two weeks.
Through it all, Chan continues to shine with her infectious laugh, kind heart, and fierce determination. This is the exact reason we had to get her on board! She’s a force to be reckoned with — and we’re so lucky to have her on board as an ambassador
We cannot wait to see the magic we’ll create together
THAT IS WHY WE CREATED
It’s a movement designed to connect, uplift, and support those affected by cancer right here on the Mornington Peninsula.
Our Goal
Whether you're a survivor, currently in treatment, have a loved one with cancer, or you know someone whose life has been touched by cancer, it’s our goal is to ensure no one walks this path alone, and everyone has access to support and a network to get them through their journey.
Looking Ahead…
We’re committed to expanding our impact—offering workshops, creating safe spaces for those in treatment, and strengthening support networks for patients and their families. By working with local hospitals and health providers, we hope to improve access to care and resources, ensuring no one in our community faces this journey without the support they need.
