As of this writing, Kate has surpassed her target of AUD$25,000, raising a total of $31,755 (£17,663).
Kate’s cancer is so aggressive that it has spread to other parts of her body, including her lymph nodes, blood and hip bones.
A GoFundMe page was set up last week to raise money to help fight the disease.

“Our beautiful Kate is going through the unimaginable…This week the fight of her life begins as she begins chemotherapy,” the fundraising page reads.
“She will lose her beautiful hair and will not be able to bear children in the future.” This is devastating news for anyone, let alone at the age of 36, with no family history of breast cancer.
“Kate will then need chemo infusions every three weeks for the rest of her life, and potentially radiation and surgery as well.”

Kate said she was touched by the outpouring of support and expressed her gratitude.
‘It’s amazing to know that I have so many amazing people in my corner. I just got over Covid and am starting my first round of chemotherapy tomorrow,’ she said in a statement.
“You have no idea how my mental space has changed because of each of you. Thank you from the heart.’
