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

My Reasons

This time last year I was still processing what had happened. At the end of October 2024 a CT scan showed a large mass in my abdomen suspected to be Ovarian Cancer. What followed was a whirlwind of tests, discussions and a surgery 2 weeks later. This lead to a definite diagnosis of High-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC) stage 3. Thus started the chemo regime that resulted in pain, fatigue and of course, hair loss.
I found ACT Cancer Council through the wig service brochure from my chemo nurse. After getting fitted for a free wig, I then got involved with their other Enhance activities - Walking, Coffee Catch-Ups, Yoga, Pilates and Indoor Rowing.

Looking forward to raising funds and awareness as a thank-you to this wonderful support program.
