I AM WALKING IN HONOUR OF My grandmother

Sunshine and Steps 💛

A glorious morning to get some steps in to train for the big day!!!
After losing my grandmother to ovarian cancer, having known lots of woman affected by cancer in some way and more recently someone close to the family being diagnosed with breast cancer at a young age, this walk means more than just walking 35km!! 
This morning was a lovely way to get in fresh air, sunshine and a ‘reason’ to move!! 

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.
