"There's probably not one person on the planet that hasn't been affected by cancer in one form or another. Even though it's just one day out of your life [the Sydney Harbour 10&5k race], it can actually make the difference of whether we get a cure quicker or not." - Janine

Pia Miranda
Pia is a world-renowned actor and media star, much loved for her breakout role in the 2000 feature film - Looking for Alibrandi. The role established Pia's place in Australian film and TV history, and her work was recognised by the Australian Film Institute (AFI) when she was awarded Best Actress at the AFI Awards in 2000. Pia was the winner of Australian Survivior in 2009 and continues to dominate screens in a number of film and TV lead roles.
"It's important for me to support cancer research because cancer is everywhere, and I'm not immune - it could happen to me or anyone in my family. I've had friends and family diagnosed, so anything I can do to help is really important to me. If we can make even a bit of a difference, that would be incredible." - Pia
