I AM WALKING IN HONOUR OF My mother, Marie
My mum, Marie, passed away in May 2023 after a five-year battle with ovarian cancer
Understanding my walk capacity
This year, at the time of the walk, I will be 32+ weeks pregnant and walking 35 km in one day is not an option physically at that point in time for me, so I have had to accept that I can still participate by doing 5 km per day for 7 days.The fact that I can start the day with my friends and then finish with them too to walk over the finish line has made this easier to accept.
Please help me, help the Perkins.

My Updates
Cancer ends with me!
On Saturday 2 May 2026, I'm challenging myself to complete walking a total of 35km, 5 km over seven days, 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.
Well done El 😎💗
