Movember ambassador and doctor Isobelle Smith shared the story of how she lost her father to lymphoma. She sought to remind the lunch of the importance of seeking help early, “whether it be physical symptoms or a mental health condition”.
Ms Smiths said: “It is no longer about women or men supporting each other, it is about people supporting people.”
Principal and director of Coleman Greig Caroline Hutchinson closed the lunch with the announcement the firm had raised over $280,000 for various charities in 12 years.
