In Mirka's Footsteps

In Mirka's Footsteps

Post-Pandemic Update!

1 in 2 Australians will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime. Having each lost a parent to cancer, we feel this is more than just a statistic.

Victoria’s father John died from an aggressive form of liver cancer in 2012, and Adam’s mother Mirka lost her 8 year battle with leukaemia in 2018.

In their memory, we are challenging ourselves to follow in the footsteps of Mirka, who, in 1996, climbed Africa’s two tallest peaks. Supported and accompanied by our good friend Adam, we are determined to conquer Mt Kenya and Mt Kilimanjaro in January and February 2023 in an effort to support the Cancer Council’s critical work. Your donation will fund cancer research and help provide vital services for Australians living with cancer. Thank you for your generosity.

Thank you to our Sponsors
