LEAD by Queensland’s Narissa McMullen, Australia’s leading ladies are shining bright as part of the Teal Pants Campaign.
Sporting specially-designed teal driving pants, the squad is raising valuable funds and crucial awareness for the ANZGOG – Australia New Zealand Gynaecological Oncology Group.
Money is earned via each win between February 1 and March 10 – the day after the Australian Reinswomen Championship night in Queensland.
Each state’s governing body donates a set amount per victory, which will be matched by the state’s major wagering company.
On average a win is worth $400 for the kitty.
As of today’s Redcliffe program, the national tally sits on 144 at an average of seven wins a day!
McMullen has been in stellar form with 14 of the Sunshine State’s 32 victories.
“It’s always good to get behind the cause,” McMullen said. “I usually don’t seem to have that much luck during the teal pants drive, but this year it is going well.
“Even to just get awareness about ovarian cancer out there is terrific, but to drive some winners and raise money in the process is the icing on the cake.
“Hopefully I will be able keep the ball rolling and get a few more wins before the campaign ends.”
