Standing Tall, One Pair at a Time

Bright Socks. Bold Awareness. Rare Cancer Research.

Socks4Cancer began as a bold, joyful way to raise awareness for rare cancers and bring colour into a space that can often feel grey.

It all started when I began wearing bright, quirky socks during treatment and advocacy events. They became a symbol—of standing tall, standing out, and standing together. And from there, Socks4Cancer was born.

 What Socks4Cancer Is All About

 I sell bold, colourful socks to raise funds and spark conversations about rare cancers—particularly Cholangiocarcinoma.
Every pair raises awareness for the challenges of living with a rare diagnosis and the urgent need for better treatment options.
All profits go directly to research—because we’re not just changing socks, we’re helping change lives.

Where the Funds Go

Every dollar raised through Socks4Cancer helps fund:

• Over the years I have donated to various cancer causes. The priorities at the moment are: 

• Cholangiocarcinoma ctDNA research led by Professor Nick Pavlakis – a world-first initiative to improve diagnosis, treatment, and monitoring of this rare and aggressive cancer.
  
  This research is personal to me. It's about saving lives—mine, and those of people like me.
