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

Another few kilometres!

Tuesday 28th Oct
I managed a 3km walk in beautiful Bowral on the weekend and saw some of the local wildlife. Another 5 kms in the rain today and I’m almost up to 80kms. 

Done and then some!

Wednesday 22nd Oct
I just logged another 16kms for this week’s efforts: 2x 5kms and one 6km walk. Loads of work for the rest of the week and then off to Bowral to give music workshops over the weekend, so I’ll try and squeeze in a walk in that beautiful part of the world! 

DONE!!

Monday 20th Oct
Today, I did a 5km walk that took me to 60+ kms. All of my walks have been just over 5 or 6 kms, but I’ve rounded it DOWN, not up. I’ve raised my target at least 5 times and, thanks to YOU, my generous sponsors, I’m now at $3000. Thank you!! I’ll keep walking over the next week or so. So glad I did this. THANK YOU!

Nearly there!!

Friday 17th Oct
I did a strength class at 6:30am today and then had to take my car in for a service, so I thought: why not walk home? 7kms later, I’m only 5kms away from my goal! 

8 walks so far

Monday 13th Oct
I did my 8th walk for the month this morning. That makes it over 46 kms so far. My new target is $2500 ! Let's see how we go. 

Dodging the angry birds

Saturday 11th Oct
I passed a few signs saying “beware of angry birds”, but so far , so good. Another 6 kms done! 

walk before work

Thursday 9th Oct
Three days of running primary school workshops with 90 kids has made fitting in a walk challenging. Today, I managed to squeeze 6kms in before 10am-6pm rehearsals and 2concerts. I’m ready for a rest now! 

6 more kms and some beautiful jacarandas

Monday 6th Oct
I’ve passed the 20km mark and enjoying the gorgeous Brisbane skies and stunning jacarandas. 

Another 6ks done !

Sunday 5th Oct
Another sunny Sunday and another 6kms done. Thanks to a whole bunch of generous supporters, my new goal of $1500 has been reached. THANK YOU ALL SO VERY MUCH!! 

10 kms done

Thursday 2nd Oct
Hi everyone! I’ve done 2 walks so far - just over 5kms each, so I’m on the way!! Thanks to my generous supporters, I’ve now been able to raise my goal to $1500, which just blows me away! Thank you to all of you. I’ve definitely got this !!!
