Molly Croft & Amy Parmenter

Co-founders, The Tie Dye Project

2025 NSW Young Australian of the Year Nominee

At the age of 12, Molly Croft was in the hospital battling sarcoma cancer when she met elite netballer Amy Parmenter. During her off-season in 2017, Amy started The Tie Dye Project, and soon after, Molly joined in, bringing with her the support of the Dubbo community. 

The Tie Dye Project makes and sells tie-dye t-shirts to raise funds for sarcoma cancer research. So far, the project has tie-dyed 16,930 items and raised over $1 million. 

For Amy, the fight against cancer is personal, having lost her mum to the disease when she was just fifteen. Together, Molly and Amy are working tirelessly to spread awareness about sarcoma and inspire Australians to invest in research and support those affected by this devastating illness. 

Their relentless dedication has influenced the medical community to prioritise sarcoma research, making a profound impact on the lives of children and families nationwide.
