I’m taking on an amazing challenge this October – and I need your support!

I’ll be walking 100km over the month of October, for the Aussies diagnosed with breast cancer! During my challenge, my aim is to raise money to support in find the next breast cancer breakthrough.

Everyday, 56 Australian women hear the words;

“You have breast cancer.”

1 in 7 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime.

And currently 20,950 Australians are living with metastatic (incurable) breast cancer.

Breast cancer is not one single disease. There are different types, subtypes, and stages of breast cancer.

Breast cancer is the most common cancer amongst women, but men can develop breast cancer too.

Despite significant advances in breast cancer care, too many people still face barriers to timely diagnosis, treatment, care, and support.

When donating to my fund-raiser, 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.

Please support me this coming month as I take on the challenge of walking 100kms to raise awareness for a health issue, that I hold very close to my heart. 🩷
