Players visit Peter Mac 
On Monday April 29, players from both Collingwood and Carlton came down to Peter Mac. Chatting with patients and staff across the centre, they bought smiles to the faces of many.

A huge thank you to both teams for coming by!

Collingwood at Peter Mac 
Proving he also has a big heart, Collingwood’s Mason Cox dropped in to Peter Mac to visit some of our patients (and massive Pies fans), Nick and Ricky. They had the chance to meet one of football’s tallest heroes and to hold the 2010 AFL Premiership Cup. 

This visit not only meant the world to Nick and Ricky, but also made the day of our staff!

Carlton at Peter Mac 
Former co-captain of Carlton and patient of Peter Mac Sam Docherty know's too well the challenges cancer patients can face. Whilst undergoing treatment for testicular cancer, his Carlton teammates banded together to shave their heads, and collectively raised over $200,000 in 2021 for Peter Mac.

Since then, Sam has continued to remain involved with Peter Mac, pictured here meeting with Peter Mac CEO Shelley Dolan

Sam is determined to drive support for Peter Mac, to improve outcomes for Australian's impacted by cancer. “On the back-end of my cancer treatment, I was looking to give back. With my personal connection, I wanted to dig my roots in deeper this time.” “Why I do everything that I do now has changed significantly: I’ve got a family, but secondary to that is to give back to people that are going through a tough time.” Donate to the Peter Mac Cup by following the link in our bio

    We're looking forward to the Peter Mac Cup, where @collingwood_fc and @carlton_fc will go head to head, with fundraising efforts going towards @SupportPeterMac Collingwood's coach, Craig McRae, on the off-field significance of Peter Mac. “We don’t lose perspective on how lucky we are. We get to do this (football), this is a hobby. We’re getting paid to play football or coach football and we don’t lose sight of that. We fight for ground balls and people are fighting for lives. “This is a great chance for us as a football club to represent this cause outside the footy field.” #AFL #PeterMac #carltonvscollingwood #GoPies #GoBlues #cancerresearch
    On Monday we were delighted to have players from both @collingwood_fc and @carlton_fc visit Peter Mac, as we head towards the Peter Mac Cup at the MCG this Friday. Carlton player and Peter Mac Cancer Foundation board member Sam Docherty shared his warm memories at Peter Mac while undergoing treatment here. “I have a lot of fond memories here, and I think that’s testament to all the people that were here when I was getting treated,” Docherty said. “Being able to sit behind the scenes a bit more now and understand the importance of the Foundation and the money that comes in, where it goes and the impact it has on people here but also people in the future — I love coming back here. It is a beautiful place. Collingwood player Bobby Hill, who was diagnosed with testicular cancer in May 2022, says Friday night’s game with rivals Carlton will be an “unbelievable” affair, for reasons even outside the obvious.
