She’s eased many an Aussie poker player’s pain with her magic touch; now it’s time for the poker community to give back.
Flavia Santon, a Best Hands Massage therapist since 2016 and a familiar face to many, is currently in the fight of her life after being diagnosed with cancer in 2020. She has been receiving intensive treatment ever since and recently learned that she requires further chemotherapy and surgery which has rendered her unable to work.
Despite the ever-lasting support of friends and her loving brother who recently arrived from Brazil to help where he can, the financial burden is naturally immense.
Flavia has contributed much toward the comfort and wellbeing of players of our great game. A multi-disciplinary therapist and talented Pilates instructor, she joined the Best Hands Massage team in 2016 after massaging on the EPT, is a veteran of many Aussie Millions campaigns and was the foundation therapist for Star Poker’s weekly massage service.
As Mike and Steph from Best Hands Massage say, Flavia has “had the back” of many a tired, sore player when the blinds are up.
PokerMedia Australia is calling on the Aussie poker community to help Flavia continue her fight by donating to the account detailed below. All contributions will directly fund Flavia’s rent, living costs and unfunded treatment costs so she can stay focused on winning this toughest of all battles.
