My target 540kms
I'm doing it for cancer!
I’ll be running from Cockle Creek to Stanley on the 3rd of May 2025 exactly a year on from when I was diagnosed with stage 3 Bowel Cancer at the age of 36. Running 45kms a day for 12 days.
I’m wanting to create awareness around Bowel Cancer especially in young people as every health professional I’ve seen across my journey told me that I’m too young to have Bowel Cancer. I want to make young people aware of the symptoms and to get checked as early as possible to stop young people dying from this disease.
I also want to change the age from 45 to 25 for everyone to have access to free screening kits across Australia.
Thank you for your generous donation. Together, we can free the future from cancer.
Thank you to my Supporters

Thankfully it was caught in time but I understand the struggle you would’ve been through. Keep up the great work.

Keep going, stay strong and proud of what u r doing for such a worthy cause.
