As a nurse, Macedon women’s cricket captain Amy Miles has seen first hand the impact that cancer can have.
It’s because of this, Miles will host the Macedon Cricket Club high tea to raise funds for the McGrath Foundation.
Ms Miles said they were hoping it would be a big day for the club and the community.
“Pink Stumps days are not just about the club,” she said.
“It’s more about health prevention and raising funds.”
Those in attendance can enjoy tea, delicious food, live music, and community spirit in a beautiful pink setting.
The day will include guest speakers skin cancer doctor Dr Bronwyn Edmunds, bra fit specialist Sarah Phegan, and a McGrath cancer care nurse.
Ms Miles will also speak about national lung cancer in the area she works in, with the McGrath Foundation now raising funds for all cancers.
Ms Miles said they were hoping to get as many people as possible to the event.
She said they’d had some good local sponsors come on board to help support the day.
“Usually the wives stay at home on Saturdays while their husbands are playing,” she said.
“Get a babysitter and have a nice day and come and watch the cricket and donate to a good cause.
“It’s not exclusive for women either.”
The high tea will be held at Tony Clarke Reserve, Macedon on 14 February between 2-6pm.
