Jimmy & Jane's June Walk for Cancer

This June, Jimmy & I are taking on Cancer Council’s 50km Dog Walk for Cancer challenge.

In May 2022 I was diagnosed with bowel cancer and after treatment have been blessed that to date,  it has not returned.

Sadly in March 2025 a close friend of mine passed away from breast cancer, 1 week after her 55th birthday. I know of 2 others currently undergoing treatment for breast cancer.

Every kilometre Jimmy 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.

As this is the first time Jimmy & I have participated, we have set a modest target for distance & fundraising. If either or both exceed the target, then Jimmy & I will have benefitted from the exercise & Cancer Council from the financial reward.

If you can, please donate to keep our paws moving and help tackle cancer alongside us, however, DO NOT feel obligated as I know many are finding everyday costs difficult and/or you may have your own charities you support.

Kindest regards, Jimmy  🐶 🐾 & Jane ❤️

It was a wild, woolly, wet & windy day today, but a break in the weather gave mum and me the opportunity to get out for a quick walk , stopping by for a look at the Uniting Church,(formerly the Wesleyan Chapel) which opened in 1874.

Pitcher Parade Track

Thursday 11th Jun
Today mum and I went semi - bush! Plenty of stops along the way to check out the ducks, and other birds, have a sniff & visit the off- leash area also for a run round with new friends. We were enjoying the sunshine and environment so much that mum didn't take any pics of me! As I was so muddy, I had a nice warm bath when we got home & I've posted a pic of my bedraggled little self. Woof! Woof!

Wild and Windy Walk

Wednesday 10th Jun
A quick walk today along the river where there are plenty of good smells. Weather is pretty wild and windy today with rain forecast, so mum thought we'd better get a walk in while it was at least dry. The rain 🌧️ has just started quite heavily as mum is logging this walk.

A nice day for a walk, going past our local fire station which I support. Every time mum and I walk past, I check the shrubs and grass and give them a watering 😆😂😅 Here I am trying to give my "bestus" smile.

Due to unforeseen circumstances, mum and I couldn't do a walk throughout the day, so had to make do with a 3-block dash in the dark! Mum donned her pink hi-vis vest and off we went doing the 3 block circuit we walk when its wet weather or lack of time to walk a longer distance. As it was dark, there's no photo of my gorgeous self today, only the circuit. Ciao baby!

Milk Run

Sunday 7th Jun
Our dash to the shop as mum had run out of milk for my Puppacino 🐶 ☕ 🐾.

Sunshine this morning, but Jack (Not Jimmy) Frost had been out and about, so mum put on my turtleneck sweater for a walk to my grandparents for a morning cuppa. My gran knitted my jumper for me not long after mum adopted me.

Yap Yap 🐶 Longford Lap 🐾 The rain stopped; the sun came out but boy the wind was cold! Mum rugged up in a beanie and puffer jacket, but I wanted to feel the wind through my fur as we headed to Longford for a nice river walk. Plenty of good smells out there. Woof! Woof! This is me at the Longford boat ramp where we parked to start our walk.

A Little Bit Further Today

Wednesday 3rd Jun
I always like to stop and have a sniff outside the Red Feather Inn, especially the pencil pines. See, my curls have flattened with the rain!

A Little Bit Further Today

Wednesday 3rd Jun
The rain had stopped so mum and I got out and pounded the pavement for today. Rain started as we neared the Red Feather Inn, so I got a bit damp and my curls flattened. Towel dry when home and a morning snack.

A quick walk in the rain today.
