kms

My target 100kms

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.

Saturday 10th Oct
A HUGE thank you to my latest donors for supporting my Doing It for Breast Cancer fundraiser! 🩷

It all happened yesterday and I nearly cried. I’m ok not getting donations , I know times are tough but it is such a worthy cause for those who can donate.

My sister, Tina , my cousin Felicity and my paddling teammate Chris

My friends Wendy and Ro got the ball rolling yesterday. 

Every dollar helps fund vital research, gives us another reason to keep pushing, paddling and fighting! 💪🐉

Having had my own breast cancer diagnosis , this cause is very close to my heart. 💕

Thank you for digging deep and helping make a difference.

Together, we’re doing it for a future without breast cancer! 🎀💗 and / or one where there is support.

Balmoral Beach, Buses, Busted, Bill and Birthdays 


We travelled 5hrs ‘down’ to near Balmoral Beach for Bill B’s 60th birthday party yesterday. 

At 3:30pm I began a 4km walk down a very steep hill to Balmoral Beach to get to my 5km target. 

(I did a very quick 1km walk before leaving home) . 

No way was I climbing back up that hill. I was busted. 


I’d spotted the Sydney buses and I planned on catching it back up the HILL. 

Once the bus got half way up the hill, the 114 bus was going a different way to my map, so I quickly exited and walked the last 1.5km back to hotel 😅

Stopped at Bottlo to buy birthday Bill 🍷 .

We missed the 100 bus so we decided to drive our car the 4km to party. Uber was quoting $40+ 

Thankfully, after the fabulous party I drove back to hotel. 

Lucky, I’m  trying to drink less 🥂. 


Hopefully i’ll be home in time for a long walk tonight.

We have stopped 6 times - breakfast , Mum’s, my sister’s, Fuel, Uncle’s , Lunch and next is my Brother’s …

The traffic through the Lithgow bottleneck is 🦇 💩 crazy from the long weekend. 


Daylight savings has started and I’ll get my steps in. 


Current total 27km/58 ~ 4 Days 

Saturday 5km not Parkrun walk due to rain

Saturday 3rd Oct
hello everyone 
Today I woke up at 6:30 am and it was raining. There was no word whether  parkrun was going to be on or not.
I went back to sleep. I prefer not to walk in the rain because of my non-waterproof hearing aid.
I took myself and the dog for a 5 km trek in the backyard. 
Parkrun ended up going ahead , oh well. 
18km / 58km completed.

Daffodil Surprise

Friday 2nd Oct
Today I noticed my daffodil potted plant had a daffodil bloom- it popped out as a surprise.
I thought the plant was dead. 
Today’s little inspiration… walked 2km in the morning and it started raining in the afternoon.
Tonight I got on the treadmill in case my weekend gets busy.
My wishful target is 150km but 100 km is on the board for now.
My foot slipped getting out of the spa tonight and  I was lucky I had the handle on the deck post  gripped tight. It could have been nasty. 

For Allaine

Thursday 1st Oct
I dedicate my first walk and donation to Allaine who passed away last week aged 90.

I was very inspired by Allaine, through her dragon boating and the way she embraced life after breast cancer. 

Her journey showed me that there can be so much life, strength and adventure after a breast cancer diagnosis.

Including white water rafting in her 70’s. She was paddling and drumming into her 80’s.



Thank you to my supporters
