Everyday Hero
Cristen Cable fits a lot into a very busy schedule. Cristen owns a successful marketing company, Kis Marketing, has four children and is taking on the challenge of learning ballroom dancing for a very special cause. She is an everyday hero.
Family is everything to Cristen, and it is family that has inspired a monumental step out of her comfort zone. “Having a grandmother who was a cancer survivor, as well as losing a grandmother and a cousin to this awful disease, this cause is extremely close to my heart. Ironically, the grandmother I lost to cancer was a professional dancer, so I will definitely be giving this competition my best efforts in her honour.”
Cristen is excited to be participating in the 2017 Stars of Newcastle. Now in its third year, Stars of Newcastle is a dancing competition raising funds for Cancer Council NSW. Showcasing local celebrities and prominent business figures as amateurs on the dance floor, the stars are each paired with a professional dance partner and attend lessons to learn and perfect their routine in the genre assigned to them. Cristen remarked “I’m using muscles I never knew you needed to dance. Ballroom dancing is much harder than it looks!”
All the hard work culminates in a glamorous performance at the Newcastle Exhibition Centre on Saturday 17th June, 2017. The next few weeks will be filled with gruelling training sessions for Cristen’s stage debut and a busy schedule of fundraising for this worthy cause.
The current statistics predict that 1 in 2 Australians will be diagnosed with some form of cancer by their 85th birthday. Cancer Council NSW receives 97% of it’s funding from the community. All money that is raised from the Stars of Newcastle event will remain in the Hunter to help local families affected by cancer. Along the way, the stars will be holding their own private fundraisers leading up to the big night. Cristen Cable will be hosting a private screening of Wonder Woman on its opening night in the Gold Lounge at Kotara. For more information on this event visit:
