Dog Walk for Cancer 2026

My Activity Tracking

28
kms

My target 50kms

Please sup-pawt Ruben and I

This June, my dog is leading the way as we take on Cancer Council’s 50km Dog Walk for Cancer challenge.

Almost 1 in 2 Australians will be diagnosed with cancer by age 85, so every step we take will help change that. With every wag, walkies and sniff stop, we're putting one paw in front of the other for a cause that matters.

Every kilometre my pup and I walk is for everyone who has heard, or will hear, the words “you have cancer”. And every dollar we raise together will help fund life-saving cancer research, prevention programs and essential support services for people impacted by cancer.

If you can, please donate to keep our paws moving and help tackle cancer alongside us. Because it’s all of us, humans and pups, in this together.

My Updates

Day 12 Walking in the rain!!

Friday 12th Jun
I wasn't expecting rain today, rugged up, went outside, light raining! Straight back in to put Ruben's rain jacket on instead of jumper and off we went! Rainbows, sheltering under trees and a very soggy-legged puppy on arrival home :-)

Tuesday & Wed Update

Wednesday 10th Jun
Yesterday we had a short 1.9km walk with the hint of a rainbow in grey skies, today we made up for it with 4.5km walks with Ruben’s doggy cousin before they shared a small bed :-)

Monday's walk

Monday 8th Jun
Did a walk via school, to the chemist, then through our amazing local bush. 4km to add to our tally after a weekend off but filled with family commitments

Day 4 4/6/25 Bunnings trip!

Thursday 4th Jun
We walked to Bunnings today as needed some no more gaps and I’m currently not driving after wrist surgery. Pup is now passed out asleep

Post-storm walking

Wednesday 3rd Jun
Ruben likes to sniff and pee on everything!

Day 1 walk 1/6/26

Monday 1st Jun
We walked to my sisters via the park, then home again - dressed for rain on the way there and hopeful of none on the way home!

Ready for 1st June tomorrow!

Sunday 31st May
