Own Your Journey

Treasure Chest Charity is proud to support and be supported by Own Your Journey, a fundraising initiative inspired by the life, strength and legacy of Kirsten Myers.

After losing Kirsten to breast cancer, her husband Shane Myers set out to create something meaningful in her honour: something that could help other women facing the challenges of breast cancer feel more supported, informed and less alone.

Through this initiative, funds raised will help Treasure Chest Charity provide access to much-needed psychological support services for breast cancer patients in need.

Why this matters

A breast cancer diagnosis affects far more than the body. It can bring fear, uncertainty, emotional distress and an enormous mental load for patients and families alike.

Access to psychological support can be life-changing, but for many women, it is difficult to access when they need it most. Wait times for public hospital psychology services can be extensive, leaving patients without timely care during some of the hardest moments of their journey.

With support from this program, eligible patients will be referred for psychological care and can begin receiving the support they need, with Treasure Chest Charity and Own Your Journey covering the cost of approved sessions invoiced through the program.

Kirsten’s legacy

Kirsten faced breast cancer with extraordinary courage, determination and generosity of spirit.

She was deeply committed to understanding her diagnosis, researching treatment pathways, exploring supportive care options, and advocating for herself throughout her journey. She hoped that by sharing what she learned, she might one day make the path a little easier for others.

Kirsten’s legacy lives on through this mission: helping others access the knowledge, care and support they need to navigate their own journey.
