Congratulations to our former Chairman of the Cancer Patients Foundation Board, David Blakeley, on being awarded the Order of Australia Medal (OAM).
True to his character, David sees this recognition as belonging to the Look Good Feel Better volunteers, dedicated team and board members, and thousands of Australians supported through cancer treatment during his 17 year tenure.
Across a 40-year career in the cosmetic industry, including 21 years as Managing Director of Chanel Australia & New Zealand, his leadership created lasting impact, not only in business but through meaningful charitable support. His role awarded him the opportunity to give back through championing Look Good Feel Better, supporting Kids First, and enabling significant contributions, such as Chanel’s donation to the Australian Red Cross Bushfire Appeal.
This OAM recognises a career defined not only by professional excellence, but by purpose, collaboration, and compassion. Congratulations on this richly deserved honour and an achievement that has touched so many lives.
