Cancer Survivor, Dancer, and Resilient Spirit
“Life’s too short to wait for the perfect moment”
I’m the kind of person who believes in jumping in and having a go, no matter what. Life’s too short to wait for the perfect moment, and doing this shoot straight after two months in a moon boot from a bushwalking accident was proof of that. I was at my heaviest weight, but who cares? I’ve survived cancer and a stroke—every day is a gift, and I’m determined to enjoy it fully.
“It’s not about us—it’s about the joy we bring.”
Dancing has always been my passion, and since 2002, I’ve run senior dance troupes currently the Springfield Sparklers. We perform musical theatre and cabaret numbers in retirement villages and Probus clubs, and the joy we bring to our audiences is what it’s all about. Watching their faces light up during our performances makes all the rehearsals worth it.
“I refuse to disappear quietly.”
Media often ignores older women, but I’m not one to quietly fade into the background. I’m determined to show that we’re vibrant, visible, and full of life. OceanRoad Swimwear embodies this spirit with designs that are practical, beautiful, and inclusive. Their swim leggings are perfect for me—I live in leggings daily, and with these, I can jump straight into my pool after gardening.
“Bright leggings bring me so much joy!”
I adore colour, and OceanRoad Swimwear’s bright leggings are my absolute favourite. They’re vibrant, fun, and so versatile. Whether I’m gardening, lounging, or swimming, they fit my lifestyle perfectly and remind me that life should always be lived in full colour.
