Meet Alana McMullen...

Alana McMullen, 35, is steadfast in her fight against cancer, after her own battle with cervical cancer and her husband’s ongoing battle with bowel cancer.

Alana lives in Queensland and hosted a Girls Night In at Kokonut Willies restaurant at Labrabor’s Grand Hotel on October 30 last year.

“Since being diagnosed with cervical cancer in 2006 when I was aged 31, I am really passionate about fundraising for the work of Cancer Council Queensland,” she said.
“I had my last operation in October 2008 and have been cancer free since then. In March last year, not long after I beat my cancer, my husband Tom was diagnosed with bowel cancer. Our eight year old daughter Baylee is so strong and is now a little fundraising extraordinaire!"
The theme for Alana's Girls Night In was 'Style Me Famous' and everyone dressed as their favourite movie character, television character or celebrity. 2010 was Alana's second Girls Night In. We hope she has the energy to do it again in 2011

Monica Lebeter

Twelve months ago, Ipswich local Monica Lebeter had just finished treatment for breast cancer when she hosted her first Girls Night In in support of Cancer Council Queensland.

In October 2010, one year since finishing treatment, Monica lined up again to host her Girls Night In. For Monica and her friends Girls Night In is a very special event.

“After I had finished my treatment I wanted to celebrate at home with my family, some girlfriends and their daughters. But my girlfriends, who had been by my side since I was diagnosed, told me we had to go out and celebrate, so we decided to host a Girls Night In at Marburg and we ended up with 65 people coming along, it was fabulous.

“When you’re diagnosed with cancer, you realise just how many women in our community that have battled or are battling cancer. They’re mums, sisters, daughters and friends – it affects everyone.  Throughout my journey I've kept a positive attitude to life, focusing on all the good things and am thankful for all the love and support given to me by my family and friends.
“Girls Night In is such an empowering event and it’s the perfect excuse to get together with friends for a good night and a good cause."
