Yesterday, it was announced by NSW Police Legacy that a mother of two has been diagnosed with a rare and aggressive form of breast cancer.
In a remarkable show of support, a fundraiser initiated by the police charity to help alleviate the financial strain on Amy and her family has amassed over $350,000 in just a little more than a day.
“The incredible generosity of our community truly reflects the high esteem in which Amy is held by the people of New South Wales,” remarked NSW Police Minister Yasmin Catley in an official statement.
“On behalf of the NSW government, I extend my deepest gratitude to everyone who has contributed,” she added.
The fundraising appeal, which initially set a target of $25,000, has received more than 6,000 donations so far.
“This is devastating news for her, her family and her colleagues at the Eastern Suburbs Police Area Command and the whole NSW Police family,” Catley said.
“Amy is the epitome of the brilliance of the NSW Police Force.
“Her bravery at Bondi Junction in 2024 is forever stamped in our minds.
“She put her life on the line and in doing so saved countless others.
“Amy is supported by the entire NSW Police family who are rallying around her as she faces this challenging health battle.
“We wish her every strength in the months ahead.”
