My target 50kms
Please sup-pawt me
This June, my dog 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. With every wag, walkies and sniff stop, we're putting one paw in front of the other for a cause that matters.
Every kilometre my pup and I walk is for everyone who has heard, or will hear, the words “you have cancer”. And 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 keep our paws moving and help tackle cancer alongside us. Because it’s all of us, humans and pups, in this together.
My Updates
Why am I doing this…
Sunday 21st JunI’ve been asked a few times why I’m doing this, and I wanted to share a bit of my story. Not many know, but when I was about seven, my mum had to have her uterus removed because of cancer. I was too young to fully understand, but I’m so grateful she caught it so early.
I’ve seen a few people go through this, some have made it, and I’m so thankful for their lives and the incredible journeys they’ve taken. But I also lost some family and friends to cancer. I suppose I’m doing this because it’s heartbreaking to see someone going through it. It’s also pretty mind-blowing how the mindset can affect the treatment. The people who donate their time to support those who are vulnerable and don’t know what the future holds are truly angels. I guess that’s why I’m doing it—I can’t do what they do, but I know what they do is necessary and not easy.
Thank you all for your help. :)
