00:00Roller Derby clubs from Newcastle, Maitland, Canberra, Sydney and surrounds
00:05travelled to Wollongong at the weekend with the goal of raising vital funds
00:08for the National Breast Cancer Foundation.
00:11The sports community hoped to raise at least $3,000.
00:14That's how much was raised in 2023,
00:16and Wollongong Illawarra Roller Derby's Amy Joyce was confident they'd do it again.
00:21The 32-year-old had more to skip for than bragging rights
00:24because every dollar raised and every set of eyes the event attracted
00:27would go towards the very organisation working around the clock
00:31for people just like her nan, Sharon,
00:33who was in the middle of her second battle with breast cancer.
00:36Amy skated under Sharon's name at the weekend
00:39after sharing her heartwarming story with the Illawarra Mercury.
