Dog Walk for Cancer 2026

My Activity Tracking

52
kms

My target 50kms

Winnie and Me

This June, Winnie is leading the way as we take on Cancer Council’s 50km Dog Walk for Cancer challenge.

Almost 1 in 2 Australians will be diagnosed with cancer by age 85, so every step we take will help change that. We will be putting one paw in front of the other for a cause that matters.

Every dollar we raise together will help fund life-saving cancer research, prevention programs and essential support services for people impacted by cancer.

If you can, please donate to help tackle cancer.

We Did It!

Thank you Everyone! We did it!
We did it for those gone too soon. Especially my Beautiful Dad🌹 We did it for those who survived this battle and those still battling. 
We Love You 🥰 🐾❤️

Motivation

Monday 29th Jun
Soooooo Close! 1 km to go! A pie for Winnie as a bit of motivation to get to 50km (not that Winnie is the one that needs motivation) 1 day to go and still time to donate if you can.

No power=Good Walk

Tuesday 23rd Jun
Our power is switched off for most of the day today so Winnie and I went for an early walk. It is very fresh today but blue skies made it a lovely Winter Wander. Coffee at the cafe for me and a sausage roll for Winnie. Lovely 🐾🌹

Good For the Soul

Saturday 20th Jun
It’s been a few days since we’ve been able to walk. I’ve been struggling a bit with energy and Winnie and I have really missed that outdoor time so despite feeling quite depleted and the weather rainy, we ventured out for a Wellbeing Walk. I feel a bit better for it…hibernation time now! (I wish) Inching toward that 50km goal. 

Half Way There!

Sunday 14th Jun
Woohoo! We have hit the halfway mark for kms and on track to reach our goal! Wouldn’t it be lovely if at $405 raised we were half way there 🤔Thank you to all who have supported us so far. There’s still time to donate if you can 🥰🐾❤️
