Questionnaire Took Me Down Memory Lane

As a big C survivor, I was asked if I wanted to do a questionnaire about  my experience. Because I'm a sharer, of course I said yes.
Going back over how I found my cancer, all the treatments I went through and trying to remember how I felt, really felt like I was trying to recall the details of a TV series I watched through once over 6 years ago. One that I didn't necessarily like, but couldn't stop watching.
I had to check my Instagram for a refresher like I was revising for a damn test.
Was a bit crazy to realise that I went from diagnosis to surgery, IVF and chemo in 2 months. Smashed out chemo in 5 months, had about 6 weeks of nothing then 3 more surgeries over the next 10 months.
And here I am, coming up on 7 years since I finished treatment and about do to my first Walk for Women's Cancer!

Please help me, help the Perkins.

Cancer Stops With Me!

On Saturday 2 May 2026, I'm challenging myself to walk 35km as part of the New Town Toyota Walk for Women's Cancer. I'm doing this Walk to do something big for our mums, sisters, daugthers, friends and loved ones living with cancer. 

This year I'm committed to raising vital funds for women’s cancer research at the Harry Perkins Institute of Medical Research because the women we cherish deserve to live longer, healthier lives free from cancer.

There is so much more to be done to ensure that women of WA confronting cancer stay with us for as long as possible. I am training and fundraising in the lead up to the event. I would be so grateful for your support. If you can't join me (I'd love your company), please give generously to my donation page.

I don't want anyone to have to hear "You have cancer". Please help me and the Perkins make that happen.

Let’s walk towards a cancer-free future – together.
