DIAMOND’S PRIVATE PAIN
PERSONAL pain may have been behind Diamonds squad member Amy Parmenter’s initial decision to raise funds to fight cancer.
But a young fighter who finds the light in the darkest hours has become her greatest motivation - and helped rope in her Australian teammates. Giants defender Parmenter, who has just completed a camp with the Australian netball squad in Queensland, launched her latest effort to raise funds, selling tie-dyed shirts signed by the Diamonds squad on her website thetiedyeproject.com that sold out in minutes. Parmenter’s efforts, under her Tie Dye Project banner, raised $2000 for the oncology ward at the Sydney Children’s Hospital.
She said it’s something her mother Gilly, who died of mesothelioma when Parmenter was 15, would be proud of.
