Dog walk for cancer challenge

This June, I’m trading my usual strolls for a serious mission (and probably a few unplanned swims in muddy puddles).

I’ve signed up for the Dog Walk for Cancer, raising funds for the Cancer Council — and I’ll be racking up the kms with the help of my furry, overexcited, occasionally chaotic four-legged coworkers.

The original challenge? 50km over the month.

But that felt a little too easy… so naturally, I’ve made it harder for myself.

? For every $1 donated, I’ll walk 1km.

That’s right — your dollars will literally move my feet. I may end up wobbling like a baby giraffe or waddling like a tired penguin, but hey — if the dogs are still going, I will be too.

Why am I doing this?

Because cancer sucks. It’s hit too close to home — family, friends, clients, even beloved pets. Almost 1 in 2 Aussies will be diagnosed in their lifetime, and that number’s way too high.

So I’m walking for the fighters, the survivors, the ones we’ve lost — and the hope that we can help change the story.

How you can get involved:

? Donate — every dollar adds another km to my total (and another reason for me to regret my life choices).

? Share this fundraiser — help me spread the word like a dog spreads drool.

? Book a walk or adventure for your pup with Dani's Dog Walking & Kitty Adventures - their playtime adds to my km count too!

Expect plenty of behind-the-scenes chaos throughout June — goofy dog faces, questionable weather decisions, and probably a few tangled leashes on Facebook. Because this isn’t just a walk — it’s a mission. One tail wag at a time.

Let’s do something amazing, one muddy paw print at a time ?
