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.

? Doing It for Mum

Thursday 30th Oct

I’ve always loved being active — sports and after-school activities were a big part of my childhood, and my mum was always there cheering me on. But when I was 9, I noticed that Mum wasn’t her usual bright and energetic self. That’s when we found out she had breast cancer.

It was a tough time, but Mum was stronger than I could ever imagine. She went through her treatment with courage and determination — and she beat cancer. After her recovery, she made walking part of her daily life. She believed that staying active could truly help in healing, both physically and mentally.

Mum went on to live another 25 wonderful years. Together with my dad, she raised me and my brothers to be happy, resilient, and optimistic.

 I often think how lucky we were — that we lived in a time when cancer treatment had advanced enough to give her those extra years with us. Those years were a gift, made possible by research and new medicines that saved her life.

This October 2025, I’m taking on a Do It For Cancer challenge in her memory — to raise awareness, to support cancer research, and to honour her incredible strength and spirit. Every step I take is for her, and for everyone touched by cancer.

Thank you to my supporters
