Cancer ends with me!

Hi friends,
On the 27th of April, I’ll be participating in the New Town Toyota Walk for Women's Cancer, an event that raises money for the Harry Perkins Institute for Medical Research. The event is a gruelling 35km walk around Perth, which I’ll do with the Southern Forest Steppers, a team full of friends and family who have been a massive support for my mum, Michelle, in her cancer journey.
For those who don’t know, here’s a bit of a summary of my family’s life over the past two years and a half:
Mum was diagnosed with stage 4 metastatic bowel and stage 1 breast cancer in late 2021. Her cancer had spread to her bladder, right ovary and left ovary, resulting in a malignant growth the size of an AFL football growing from her ovarian epithelial tissue. Since then, the cancer has metastasised to her lymph nodes and her liver.
From the surgeries, appointments, PET scans, CTs, MRIs, ultrasounds, blood tests, tears, radiation, immunotherapy and chemotherapy to the hours travelling to and from Perth, the many specialists, worst-case scenarios, the sitting in a waiting room and shitty hospital food, the impact it all has had on my whole family is unmeasurable.
Mum has been an absolute trooper through all this, and I’ve never seen someone with so much grit, positivity and determination to beat cancer's ass. I couldn’t be more proud to be her daughter.
Thank you to every person who continues to support Mum; no words truly express how grateful my family is. I am beyond excited to walk with the Steppers for my 2nd year and to contribute back to the community, which has done so much for us.
If you’d like to donate to the cause, whether one dollar or one hundred dollars, please follow the link below. Sending all my love to you all ❤️

Please help me, help the Perkins.

My Updates

Cancer ends with me!

2024 is my time to do something big for our mums, sisters, daughters, friends and loved ones living with cancer. I’m doing this Walk because no one should have to hear those two terrible words, “It’s cancer.”

This year, I’m committing to help the amazing women’s cancer researchers at WA’s Harry Perkins Institute of Medical Research. I’m training, fundraising and walking to support this cause. I’d be so grateful for your support.

If you can’t join me (I’d love the company), please give generously to my fundraising page.

The Perkins is dedicated to helping the women in our lives. They’re focused on pioneering medical breakthroughs and discovering new treatments for this disease and they won’t stop until cancer is history. That means so much to me. Please help me, help them.

Let’s do this. Because cancer ends with me.
