I AM WALKING IN HONOUR OF My mother, Mecky

Funding Goal Reached

With just over 6 weeks to go until the Walk for Women's Cancer, I am absolutely thrilled to share some incredible news: I have officially reached my fundraising goal!

I want to take a quick moment to express my deepest gratitude. To everyone who has donated, shared my posts, or offered words of encouragement—thank you. I truly appreciate all the incredible support so far. Knowing I have such a fantastic community behind me makes training for this walk so much more meaningful.

Speaking of training, preparation is going really well! I've been consistently hitting my weekly targets to make sure I am fully ready for the big day. Every single dollar raised goes toward funding crucial research and supporting women facing cancer, and knowing we have hit this milestone gives me even more motivation to keep pushing.

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.
