The Telethon Adventurers

Stacey was awarded the 2006 Edith Cowan University Graduate Career Award for the Western Australian Police.

Reason for being an Adventurer: My angel Emily Jane aged just 5 years old, passed away in August 2010, of an inoperable brain tumor. I am determined to honour Emily's desire to be a nurse, and have commenced Nursing studies at Notre Dame University, where I plan to specialise in Paediatric Oncology. I continue to work hard raising awareness and funds to fight childhood cancer and my fundraising activities this year include:

• The Sunflower Squad - City to Surf Fun Run, Sunday, August 28, 2011 and
• Team Leader, The Climb for Childhood Cancer, Mt. Kilimanjaro, Tanzania, 1st - 12th October 2011
