The girls were keen to tell Dubbo Photo News their team was actively sponsored by Active Embroidery. We’ll have more coverage of this great event in next week’s edition. PHOTO: DUBBO PHOTO NEWS

When Amy met Molly By JOHN RYAN TIE-DYE was Protest Art in the 1960s, Pop Fashion in the 1970s, and it could become known for its fearless fundraising in the 2020s – that’s the dream of Dubbo’s Molly Croft and she’s enlisted the support of one of Netball’s biggest names to make it happen. Amy Parmenter has been wowing crowds and gathering fans (known as the Parmy Army) from the moment she stepped on the court for the Giants three years ago, the 2019 Super Netball Rising Star award winner earned her a spot in the Diamonds Squad, with the defensive midcourt specialist shutting down some of the best players in Super Netball. When Amy was 15, she lost her

mum Gilly to a rare form of Mesothelioma cancer. When Gilly was first diagnosed, the family brought a Kombi van to help transport her wheelchair around her four kids loved their memories of tie dying clothes with their mum. “I remember being at the Byron Markets years and years ago and mum being outraged and/ or impressed with the price they were selling DIY tie dye t-shirts,” Amy said. “As she did with lots of things, she took it into her own hands and ordered bucket loads of dye and started doing a stall at the Glenmore Road Public School Fete. “When we picked it up again and people showed interest in

the pieces, we thought it could be the perfect fundraiser – with this sentiment, The Tie Dye Project was born.” Amy is in Dubbo this week to support her mate Molly, and Molly’s mum Ange said they’re looking forward to the Tie Dye Kombi van travelling over the mountains from Sydney to Dubbo next week. Amy, like Molly’s family, understands that research is the answer when it comes to winning the fight against cancer, with many types of cancers now showing a much greater survival rate thanks to research over the years – but much more needs to be done.
