About

Kathleen’s Story is an evening dedicated to honouring Kathleen’s memory and supporting the ongoing fight against breast cancer.

Hosted by Cosi, this special event will bring together business leaders, community members and supporters for a night of fundraising, entertainment and generosity.

Following Kathleen’s passing from breast cancer, her family and the team at Beyond Clean created this event to ensure her story continues to inspire hope and help fund life-saving research.

The evening will include:

• Guest appearances
• Charity auction
• Community fundraising activities
• Entertainment and networking
• Cocktail-style evening

All funds raised will support the National Breast Cancer Foundation and their mission to achieve zero deaths from breast cancer.

Join us as we celebrate Kathleen’s story and work together to support the future of breast cancer research.

Kathleen's Story

Kathleen was born on 12 June 1966 to her loving parents Anne and Ted, who today remain a strong part of the family in their 80s. From the very beginning, Kathleen’s life would be one filled with both challenges and incredible strength.

She grew up alongside her siblings — her older brother Eddy, her sister Sandra, and her youngest sister Michelle. Kathleen also had another sister, Leeanne, who tragically passed away at just four months old from pneumonia. The loss left a lasting mark on the family, and years later Kathleen honoured her sister’s memory by naming her own first daughter Leanne.
