Kerri-Anne Kennerley

“I’m proud to have been the Patron of the Cancer Patients Foundation and the Look Good Feel Better program for over a decade now. It has been so inspiring to see, year after year, the impact this charity continues to have on women, men and teens across Australia. Confronting cancer personally took my enthusiasm for Look Good Feel Better to new heights. It really put it all into perspective.

The premise is so simple, but the results are so incredibly significant. At a time surrounded by so much uncertainty and such a lack of control, Look Good Feel Better truly does empower Australians to face their cancer diagnosis with confidence.”

In 2010, Zoë proudly accepted the role as Ambassador for Look Good Feel Better.

Zoë has used her position of influence to bring awareness to the charity and advocate for community support. She has also facilitated donations of Go-To product for the benefit of program participants.

"I’ve seen first-hand the (instant and also enduring) joy and spark a Look Good Feel Better workshop can bring during what can be a very dark, scary time for people undergoing cancer treatment. I cannot endorse or support the exceptional work of Look Good Feel Better enough... but I will try!"

On being appointed as an ambassador, Leigh said: “I was so chuffed to be asked to come on board and help further the wonderful work of Look Good Feel Better. I'll never forget how I felt after attending my first workshop - the gratitude expressed for the help (and short break from 'reality') we were able to offer the participants touched me greatly. I'm honoured to assist this incredible charity in any way I can.”

After first attending a Look Good Feel Better workshop in 2018 and being immediately taken by the impact the program has on its participants - both short and long-term - Eleanor was humbled to take on the role of Look Good Feel Better Ambassador in 2022.

"I've seen first-hand just how powerful, transformative and self-esteem boosting beauty can be for cancer patients – the power of a brow pencil, a red lipstick or a groomed wig can quite literally change how a woman feels when they've had a hard round of treatment or are processing their diagnosis. It's my honour to support Look Good Feel Better and the work that they do."

Whether it’s paving new pathways for herself and underrepresented communities on social and mainstream media platforms, her work is a tribute to her message of shattering obstacles and igniting permanent change. Ruchi’s passion for beauty and fashion has become a vehicle to encourage confidence, redefine the beauty standard and inspire her audience to present themselves unapologetically.

In 2024, Ruchi eagerly accepted the role as Ambassador for Look Good Feel Better. Prior to Ambassadorship, Ruchi used her social media platform to share personal stories, speak on the transformative power of makeup, particularly when it comes to identity, whilst highlighting the work of our charity. The alignment couldn’t be more perfect.

“It’s heart shattering when you see that glimmer fade within a loved one who is facing dark and challenging times. But, I’ve also seen when that spark re-ignites, agency is restored and that reclamation of identity is felt, even just for a moment. This is the best way to describe the effects of the Look Good Feel Better program. There’s genuine intention to help people who are undergoing cancer treatment connect with their confidence. I want to be a part of spreading that message.”
