Molly Croft

2024 Dubbo Citizen of the Year, President of the Tie Dye Project

At just 18 years old Molly is an inspiring young leader and cancer advocate who has made a significant impact on her community and beyond. Diagnosed with high-grade metastatic osteosarcoma at age 12, Molly has faced intense personal challenges, including aggressive chemotherapy, multiple surgeries, and the loss of bone in her right leg and part of her left lung. Despite these obstacles, Molly has used her journey to fuel a passion for helping others, particularly in the fight against cancer.

Through her charity, The Tie Dye Project, co-founded with Australian Diamond netballer Amy Parmenter, Molly has raised over $700,000 for cancer research, with her overall contributions exceeding $1 million. Her efforts have directly supported groundbreaking research, including Car T Cell Therapy and NK Cell Therapy projects. She is also an ambassador for the Sydney Children's Hospital and the Stand Tall Foundation, where she shares her story with thousands of students to promote mental health and resilience.
