My target 58kms

I’m taking on an epic challenge this October – and I need your support.

I’ll be walking 58km for the 58 Aussies diagnosed with breast cancer every day. And to help find the next breast cancer breakthrough.

Will you donate to support my challenge, and help me reach my fundraising goal?

You’ll fund world-class cancer research, prevention programs, and support services at Cancer Council, to support people affected by cancer before, during and after treatment.

Cancer Council is Australia’s leading cancer charity working across every aspect of every cancer. They support families affected by cancer when they need it most, speak out on behalf of the community on cancer issues, empower people to reduce their cancer risk, and find new ways to better detect and treat cancer. With your help, we can get closer to a cancer free future.

It’s all of us against cancer.

Are you with me? Please donate to my fundraiser now.

My Updates

Walk for Breast Cancer: Final Days Update 🎀

Tuesday 27th Oct

Thank you to everyone who has donated! 

Your generosity has helped me raise additional funds, and I’ve now walked 128km, well past my original 58km target.  

I’ve had some lovely walks with friends and catch-up lunches with some of the people who donated, plus a couple of big 15km days. Those were rewarded with pub meals and a well-earned wine or two. Plus Ive been walking every day with the dog. 

I only realised I’d gone over my target after the fact, so I’m keen to keep going. The challenge finishes this Sunday, so there are still a few more days to raise funds and clock up more kilometres. If you’d like to chip in a few dollars, for every $1 donated I’ll walk an extra 1km before the challenge finishes.

Every dollar goes towards prevention, research and support. Challenge on, but no pressure at all! x

🚶‍♀️❤️ Walking for a cause close to my heart! 🎗️ Breast Cancer Awareness Month

Thursday 15th Oct

A little update on my cancer fundraising challenge!

Thanks to everyone's generosity, I've raised an amazing $636.78 so far! 🥰 Thank you so much to everyone who has donated and supported me.

My original walking goal was 58 km, but thanks to the additional donations I've received, my goal has now increased to 123 km by 31 October! 👟💪

I've walked 56 km so far, so I'm nearly at my original goal, but there's still plenty of walking ahead!

As promised, for every additional $2 donated, I'll walk an extra 1 km! That means every extra $10 in donations adds another 5 km to my walking challenge.

My legs might get sore, and there might be days when I wonder why I signed up for all these extra kilometres, but my sore legs are nothing compared to the pain and suffering experienced by people living with cancer. If walking a few extra kilometres helps raise money and make a difference, then it's absolutely worth it. ❤️

Cancer affects so many people and families, and I'm grateful to be able to do my bit to raise funds for this important cause.

You've helped turn my 58 km challenge into 123 km, and every extra donation can take me even further!

Thank you for your kindness, generosity and support. Now it's time to keep those walking shoes moving! 💕🎗️

Breast Cancer Awareness Month Walking Challenge Update 13 October

Tuesday 13th Oct

I’m 13 days into my challenge and have walked 41km so far. Thanks to your generosity, I’ve raised $565, and for every $2 donated I walk an extra kilometre, so my target has grown from 58km to 82km. That leaves 41km still to go!

Every dollar goes towards prevention, research and support. Everyone is touched by this awful disease in some way. I’ve had 7 friends and family members affected, and my best friend is living with stage 4, so this cause is very close to my heart.

Thank you to everyone who has donated so far. If you’d like to sponsor me, every $2 adds another kilometre. Challenge on, but no pressure at all! x
