I'm stepping up against cancer!

This year, I’m taking on Relay For Life to raise funds for every person who’s ever heard the words: “you have cancer”. In 2024, more than 150, 000 Australians will receive the news. Among them are our friends, families and colleagues.

Cancer is a devastating disease for so many. For people living with cancer, their treatments can be long and stressful. For those without solutions, the future can be uncertain. It’s a concern shared by their loved ones.

But with your support, I hope to help as many people impacted by cancer as possible. Together, we can support families when they need it most, empower people to reduce their risk, speak up for communities, and find new ways to better detect and treat cancer.

Every step I take is one closer to a cancer free future. But I can’t do it alone! Please donate to my Relay today and together, we can help Cancer Council provide life-changing support services, advocacy, prevention and research across Australia.

Thank you for stepping up. Together we’ll make powerful strides against cancer!

My Updates

25km

💛💜Relay for Life. I had pledged to walk 21.1km, but I like a nice round number, and my right leg was coping “ok” so I kept going until I reached 25km. Thank you to those of you who sponsored me in raising money for the Cancer Council. It was a wonderful community day 💛💜

My goal: Walk a half marathon

💜💛You may or may not know that I do a bit of walking🚶‍♀️. You might know me BECAUSE of walking🦶. Maybe you’ve seen me walking to or from work, to or from the shops (lugging groceries adds extra fun), walking in search of a beer🍺, walking over a mountain ⛰️, walking with a club or friends, walking backwards, walking around the block or simply just going for a walk for the sake of going for a walk 🤷‍♀️. You may have seen or heard about some of the “mega” that walks Jesse and I have done.
Attached to this post is a collage of a gazillion photos of me going on a walk (somewhere). Walking is amazing for your physical and mental health. I’ve done plenty of long walks, but something I’ve never done is walk around in a circle for hours on end. On Saturday, I will be walking for the Cancer Council’s Relay for Life:
Date and Time: Saturday 21st March, 1pm - 9pm
Location: Southern Cross University, Lismore (sports field)
My goal: Half marathon (21.1km) of walking
💛💜If you would like to make a tax-deductible donation 💵 to the Cancer Council to sponsor me in my planned 21.1km of walking in circles on Saturday, follow the link on my page. You can also sign up and join in on the day! Or even just hang out as a spectator. The more the merrier - it will be a great community event. 💛💜
