STYLISH CHRISSY KEEPING BUSY

-

IT has been a big week for Chrissy Keepence. She was in Canberra as part of Ovarian Cancer Awareness Week and spoke movingly at the annual Teal Ribbon parliament­ary breakfast. You may recall the plight of Chrissy and her sisters – Veronica Neave and the late Elisha Neave – when they discovered that they were carriers of the BRCA gene meaning they are at a much higher risk of developing breast and ovarian cancer. Adding poignancy to the day was Elisha’s son Jack who accompanie­d Chrissy to the function where he mixed and mingled with our political elite. The key message from Chrissy is that proper medical screening will identify women who are most at risk. All power to her.
