How did Carrie Bickmore's first husband influence her life?

Carrie Bickmore's first husband, Greg Lange, had a profound influence on her life. After they met while studying at university, they married in 2000 and had their first child, Oliver, in 2002. After Greg's diagnosis with brain cancer in 2005, Bickmore found herself as a single mother struggling to make ends meet. The experience of caring for her husband and raising a young child alone was difficult yet it inspired Bickmore to become an advocate for cancer research and awareness.

As a result, Bickmore founded the Carrie Bickmore Foundation in 2010, in memory of her late husband. The organization works to raise awareness and funds for brain cancer research and support for those affected by the illness. Through her foundation, Bickmore has been able to help countless people living with cancer, as well as their families.

Bickmore's courage and strength in the face of such a difficult situation has inspired many people. She is an example of how to turn a tragedy into something positive and make a real difference in the world. Greg Lange's influence and memory will continue to live on through the work of Bickmore and her foundation.
