Peace of Mind Foundation was created in honour of Caroline Maree Matthews, a much-loved wife, mother, sister, daughter, friend and dedicated nurse. Her warmth, courage and caring spirit touched everyone who knew her. Caroline died from brain cancer on her 32nd birthday, but her memory lives on in her son, Benjamin, and in the Foundation’s work supporting other families facing brain cancer.

27th June 2025 started like any other day.
 
I got up, got myself ready and did what I always did. I co-parent my grandchildren, so I drove them to school before heading towards my daughter Chelsea’s house to help get ready for my granddaughter’s birthday party.

There wasn’t a single warning sign.

Seanne Inkpen never imagined she would become a marathon runner. 

For most of her life, running was something she actively avoided. She was the person looking for any excuse to skip cardio, the one cheering from the sidelines rather than joining in. 

But after losing her mum, Liz, to brain cancer in 2023, running became something much more meaningful. 

Recently, Peace of Mind Foundation received a heartfelt letter from the Eastern Suburbs Quilters, sharing the story behind a beautiful quilt created in memory of their dear friend, Dale Snell.
