In an announcement on Mix102.3’s morning show ‘Max & Ali’, Ali Clarke shared news about her health journey, revealing that she would take several weeks off the airwaves to undergo a second mastectomy.
The presenter is stepping down temporarily to focus on her health. 7News presenter, Rosanna Mangiarelli, is set to fill in during Clarke’s absence, bringing her own charisma to the popular breakfast slot.
Ali Clarke initially disclosed her breast cancer diagnosis earlier this year and underwent her first mastectomy in July. In her morning address, Clarke shared that this was not only precautionary, but a move to take control and provide reassurance for her family, especially her children.
Rosanna Mangiarelli took to the airwaves to lend support to her colleague and shared her anticipation for joining the morning show alongside Max. Mangiarelli highlighted the often-overlooked emotional toll such experiences can have. She congratulated Clarke on her courage and extended her best wishes, a supportive sentiment that resonated with Mix102.3 listeners.
The broadcast was notably timed to coincide with Mix102.3’s Breast Check Day, an initiative that encourages listeners to perform regular self-checks for breast cancer on the first of every month. This scheduling underscores the station’s commitment to breast cancer awareness, leveraging its platform to educate and remind its audience of the importance of early detection.
Mangiarelli’s temporary role on ‘Max & Ali in the Morning’ is set to blend seamlessly with the familiar balance of entertainment and informative content that listeners know and love.
Mix102.3 listeners can expect to all the usual engaging morning content while keeping Clarke in their thoughts during her recovery period. Clarke’s transparency and Mangiarelli’s support exemplify the strength and solidarity that often go unseen in the broadcasting industry, resonating deeply with fans and listeners who appreciate the sincerity and professionalism exhibited by both presenters.
As the Adelaide community sends its best wishes to Ali Clarke, Mix102.3 continues its mission of entertaining and informing while supporting its audience through impactful initiatives like Breast Check Day.
