Raelene Boyle AM, MBE
Raelene Boyle is an Australian sporting icon. Her athletic achievements are endless. She's also a survivor of breast and ovarian cancer and a founding board member for Breast Cancer Network Australia (BCNA). Stepping down from the board in 2022, her commitment to BCNA and helping Australians affected by breast cancer has been unwavering for more than 25 years. In fact, Raels, as we affectionately call her at BCNA has often said that her work in advocacy means more to her than all her sporting medals and accolades.
