Supporting Breast and Ovarian Cancer Research

I'm putting my foot down to stop breast and ovarian cancers in their tracks!

The Canberra Times article

The Canberra Times kindly interviewed me about my run streak and the symbolism of my 1000th consecutive day running falling on the day I run 10kms in the MDC.  As I say in the article, I am doing this not only for my mum who has incurable metastatic breast cancer but for anyone (man or woman) who is effected by breast cancer.  I have also opted for my fundraising efforts to be shared with researching Ovarian cancer; I truly believe if we can find a cure for one, we will be infinitely closer to a cure for the other and hopefully many more cancers. I am so grateful and so passionate about this cause! Thank you so much everyone for your support, we couldn't do this alone! 

Support my efforts in the 2024 Mother’s Day Classic!

On Sunday 12 May, I'm putting my foot down to save lives.

I'll be lacing up my running shoes and taking a step forward for women's cancer research, and I'd really love your support!

I’m joining the Mother’s Day Classic to help raise funds and awareness to fight breast and ovarian cancers.  

Tragically, 12 Australians lose their lives to these awful diseases every day. 

A few weeks ago we found out that mum has new metastatic disease and will require treatment/chemotherapy potentially for the rest of her life. Metastatic breast cancer is incurable. 

I’m asking you to do more than just stand with me but to support me as I walk, run, and move till we’re done. 

Please make a donation today to support my challenge. There’s only one way to stop breast and ovarian cancers - together!

For more information on how your donations will make a difference, please click here.

Thank you for your support.
