Michele Marco, mother of two teenagers, business owner, former St Vincent's patient... and breast cancer survivor.
"My first and only instinct told me that the only place I needed to be for my cancer treatment was St Vincent's Hospital."
At some stage in our lives, all of us are touched by cancer... whether through a much loved family member, a dear friend or even by personal experience. St Vincent's Tree of Life helps us celebrate the life of someone we love, while raising funds for the Hospital's world renowned Cancer Services Program.
"Each light is a gift that will help the Hospital to further improve
the cutting edge services provided to patients now facing
the same tough journey I did." - Michele
