Neicy is what they call a club 'legend'. A child of 11, Neicy and her family have endured more than most and yet despite so much loss we meet a humble woman with great humour that is known for her volunteering, and doing whatever it takes.Not just at the football netball club but whatever the Cobden and surrounds have needed she is there to give a hand- 'It's what you do' she says.
Neicy lives with Lynch syndrome. It is an inherited genetic condition that significantly increases the lifetime risk of developing certain cancers, particularly colorectal (bowel) and endometrial (uterine) cancers.
2 of her 3 children have the gene and she has had to say goodbye to more family members than you can count as she says all the names.
Get the test is what she wants you to know.
A wife and mother. Family is everything to 'our Neicy' as the locals call her.
This is 100 Women in 100 Days (ish) for the Women of Influence Podcast.
Thank-you so much to the Cobden Football Netball Club for inviting me to come along and record this story. Our first recording with a live audience. Thank-you to all the women that packed out the club rooms and all the sponsors and donors that helped make the day so special.
Enjoy the episode
Luv Kate
