KELLY MCKELLAN-NATHAN
Board Member
Cancer first touched my life at the age of 32 years when my best friend’s younger sister was diagnosed with cancer. Like many other stories, Tone (as she was lovingly known) was concerned about a lump she found on her tongue, and after several weeks of tests, her diagnosis was confirmed. What really was unbelievable about this cancer was the statistics – it was more commonly diagnosed in men over the age of 65 years and who are / was smokers. Tone was a young woman who just celebrated her 30th birthday and never touched a cigarette in her short years. I miss her dearly and although I had a long and established loving, trusting and caring friendship with her older sister Loren, Tone and I spent many good times together that brought us closer before her illness. Both Loren and Toni are not only my friends, they are my sisters. Three years later, I lost my cousin Jacqueline Monaghan to cancer – another deep and devastating loss to my family and me. Sadly, there have been many more family and friends effected by and lost to cancer. When I was approached by Play for a Cure to be an Ambassador (as of October 2025, Kelly joined our board), I first asked ‘why me?’. Later that evening I said to myself, it’s not about what qualities I can bring to this charity but more so what I can do for Play for a Cure. From that point on, I’ve been dedicated to assisting the charity in fundraising, volunteering my time and will be participating in the Queensland Masters in August 2010 (and in future events (and that she has done, never missing one event!)) – my legacy of contributing in the fight against cancer as well as remembering family and friends.
