| GEOFF FIELD (Our 2010 MC for Black Tie for Breast Cancer) |
Geoff has had a long and exciting career in the news and media Geoff has presented the
news for Ita Butrose, Derrin Hinch, and radio legend (the late) John Pearce, among others.
In 1997 Geoff joined Austereo's 2MMM-FM as news editor for The Andrew Denton Show. He quickly assumed an on-air profile on sister station 2DAY-FM reading news for Wendy Harmer and other top rating shows. Geoff was invited to become newsreader for The Kyle & Jackie O Show in 2004.
Geoff has covered many of the biggest news stories of our time - including the trial of the Anita Cobby murderers, death of Princes Diana, the impeachment of President Clinton, and the election of John Howard as Prime Minister of Australia.

On BT4BC Geoff says: I'm so glad to be associated with the Black Tie
for Breast Cancer event. Cancer has affected my family, but thankfully
through the expert care of doctors and nurses, both my mum and sister are now
cancer free. The only way we will overcome this terrible disease is to
raise awareness and continue research. This can only be achieved by you, doing whatever you can to help, from donating 10, 20 or even 100 dollars, or attending the charity gala dinner in March. I am so honoured to be asked to be an ambassador for this cause, and I hope others in the public eye will come on board in the future. Much Love, Geoff Field
