Cancer is tough, but we're tougher

In May 2021, I’m challenging myself to walk 35km as part of the Women’s Cancer Challenge. I’m doing it to raise much-needed funds for women’s cancer research right here in WA at the Harry Perkins Institute of Medical Research.

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

Please help me, help the Perkins.

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

Pushing myself out of my comfort zone

I am taking on this challenge with my daughter and friends and have called our team “Because we can” because that is exactly the reason why I am doing this ‘because I can’. Yes I’m in my 50’s and starting to get aches and pains but I’m  one of the lucky ones that is blessed with good health. I want to raise money  and awareness for those that aren’t. I lost a good friend to cancer and she was only 36 and left behind 2 young children. More research and better treatment options may just have saved her life. I now have 2 more friends battling stage 3 Breast cancer and the toll it takes on your mind, body and those around them is devastating. Imagine if we all did our bit to help, who knows what the world would look like! Thankyou to those that help me fight against cancer..... x
