Noorjehan Merchant
06.03.1969 – 18.12.2019
In early 2019, mother, wife and cancer warrior, Noorjehan Merchant discovered that her breast cancer had recurred and metastasized. She decided that she needed to do something positive in the hope that others would not have to go through what she and her family were experiencing.
A passionate cook with a love of the spices and traditions for the food of her native Pakistan, she had an idea to produce a cook book to raise funds for vital cancer research. Her vision was that the book would combine her love of food and cooking and be dedicated to the Bathurst community, her home for many years and where she had chosen to work and raise her family
Bathurst Beaters
Unfortunately, Noorjehan Merchant lost her battle with cancer in December 2019. She never got to hold this dream in her hand but it left the remaining 10 survivors even more determined to realise her dream and hopefully prevent others from dying in the future.
We are so grateful and humbled by the generosity, support and encouragement of Bathurst and its surrounding communities who have donated toward the design and print costs of the book. We have received donations both large and small and in all sorts of forms that we truly couldn’t have imagined when we first started. We have been especially touched by the individuals and organisations who sponsored our survivor pages for $1,000, the $250 pages and those who made anonymous donations.
