For the charity’s latest project, Bright Pink Lipstick Day, a social media campaign that encourages more people to discuss their hereditary health, the 30-year-old preventative cancer activist enlisted the support of Margie Abbott, a Victoria’s Secret model and a usually publicity shy Rinehart sibling.
