CEO and Founder of Peace of Mind Foundation

Bec’s personal family experience with brain cancer led to her passion and desire to make a difference for families fighting this disease; and as a result she founded Peace of Mind Foundation in 2013.

Bec is a driven patient advocate, strong public speaker, and has extensive experience working with hundreds of families impacted by brain cancer. With a professional background in event management and leadership, and over 15 years’ experience working and volunteering in the not for profit sector, Bec has used her skills to create Australia’s largest brain cancer support charity. 

She is a persistent and dedicated leader, and constantly driven by a challenge. Her vision is to create a sustainable national support service that helps improve quality of life and survivorship for ALL patients and families fighting this disease. 

In recognition of her work within the brain cancer community, she has received numerous awards, including:

National Brilliant Biz Mum Award – Finalist 2016

Geelong Volunteer of the Year Award 2017 – Community Care & Health

Victorian Premier Volunteer Champion Award 2017

International Women’s Day – Leadership in Women’s Health Award 2019

AWA Alliance Bank National Do Good Award 2019

Westfield Local Hero Award 2019

Outside of her work with Peace of Mind, Bec is a busy mum, and sits on the board of another not for profit organisation called ‘Humans in Geelong’. She dedicates any spare time she has to her children, her husband Matt who has brain cancer, and their 3 dogs!
