Dog Walk for Cancer 2026

My Activity Tracking

61
kms

My target 50kms

Please sup-pawt me

This June, Herbie 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 Herbie and I walk is for everyone who has heard, or will hear, the words ā€œyou have cancerā€. 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

Thank You For Your Sup-pawt x

Tuesday 30th Jun
We ended upĀ  with just over 60 km walked during June.
We got to investigate lots of local tracks that we haven't walked before.Ā  Ā I've lived in the area all my life, but was still surprised by some of the wonderful scenery on offer.Ā Ā 
Thank you to everyone who donated to the cause x

Distance goal met!

Thursday 25th Jun
Yesterday morning we walked the 50th kilometre :-)Ā  Ā 
Thank you to everyone who has donated so far.
We are going to keep walking - please keep donating!Ā Ā 
Cheers Susan, Herbie, Belle & Wynn x

Three Weeks down

Sunday 21st Jun
Three weeks into the Challenge and we have nearly reached our goal of 50 kilometres walked.Ā  Ā  Only 5 more to go!Ā  Ā Then it will be interesting to see how many more we can travel before the end of June.Ā  Ā Ā 
Herbie, Wynn and Belle are all loving the extra exercise, me probably not so much <LOL>.Ā  Ā 

End of our Second Week

Sunday 14th Jun
We've made it to the end of two weeks and are well over half way to our goal to walk 50 kilometres in June.

Herbie went to Blackmans Bay beach today for his walk

Six Days In

Saturday 6th Jun
As expected, Thursday was a write-off with the weather and work commitments (the two "W"s), but Friday and today we made up for lost time and are just about keeping to schedule.Ā Ā 
Multiple walks today with Herbie, Belle and Wynn all havingĀ  turns :-)Ā  Ā Ā 

Day 3

Wednesday 3rd Jun
Super lucky with the weather - no rain when I finished work, so time to go walkies!Ā Ā 
Herbie has been jumping out of his skin - he definitely is feeling better.Ā  So I took him to Kingston Beach for a nice flat walk.Ā Ā 
When I got home, Belle had a quick trot around.
A combined effort today thanks to Herbie and Belle :-)Ā 
We're up to 6 kilometres - more than a 10th of the way there <LOL>.Ā Ā 

Day 2

Tuesday 2nd Jun
I took advantage of a break in the rain to take baby Wynn (11 months old) for a quick 1 km walk after work. Managed to get back just as the rain was starting up again. Probably no walkies for the next couple of days as the weather is going to get wetter and colder. Hopefully back out again on the weekend with Herbie.



Day One!

Monday 1st Jun
Well, we have made a start.Ā  Ā Just over 2 kilometres with Herbie's aunty, Belle.Ā  Ā 
A little hike, close to home, at the Boronia Hill Reserve.Ā Ā 
The weather was dry, whichĀ  is not going to be the case for the rest of the week if the weather forecast is correct!Ā  Ā May have to get creative to keep up the k's!Ā Ā 

One day to go!

Sunday 31st May
Many thanks to everyone who has donated so far.
Tomorrow is the start of the challenge and, of course, there's been a hiccup in our preparations!Ā  Ā 
Yesterday Herbie manage to hurt himselfĀ  :-(Ā  Ā It doesn't look serious, and he's already looking better today, but to be on the safe side, he is being side-lined for the first week or two of the challenge.Ā 
Luckily he has other doggie family members who are willing to take his place.Ā Ā 
So there's no getting out of it for the human!!
