we’re more than just cancer

Our Mission:
A Real Cancer Community, Built Together

At We Get It, we set out to create something different — a community for people living with and beyond cancer, one that’s real, supportive, and never alone. And you know what? We’ve done just that — and so much more.

What We’ve Built Together

Today, our growing community meets weekly at our Friday Get Together, monthly at our Bhajis & Banter Curry Club, online for our Stage 4 Group support, and annually for our sell-out showstopper events like Strength in Style.

We couldn’t be more proud, but most of all, we’re in awe of the brilliant people that make up our community. A community of people who show us what life can look like living with and beyond cancer. People who despite cancer, have grabbed amazing opportunities, pushed themselves out of their comfort zone, and inspired others along the way.

Meet a Few of Our Incredible Members

  • Leigh, a firefighter whose resilience pushed him to get even fitter post-diagnosis. Cancer didn’t slow him down — instead, it fueled his fighting spirit.

  • Jemima, a Commonwealth judo champion and CrossFit fan, who used her sports mindset (and sharp sense of humour) to tackle treatment head-on.

  • Julie, an audiologist and artist who found creative inspiration in her diagnosis, channeling it into art and mindfulness that fueled her recovery.

  • Lucy, a music lover and mom who stepped out onto the Strength in Style catwalk, discovering confidence and opportunity she never expected.

Leigh, Jemima, Julie, Lucy — they’re so much more than their diagnoses. And together, they’re redefining what’s possible.
