WHY!
On May 3rd 2025, I will be taking part in the Walk for Womens Cancer.
I will be joining my beautiful friends on the 42km walk in support of their Mother, and my best friend’s Aunty, Tania.
Tania was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2016. Despite surgery, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy, her battle intensified in 2019, when the cancer metastasised to her brain. After years of surgeries and treatments, her resilience is unwavering, undeterred by the devastating news that her brain tumour is now inoperable. True to her strength, she is continuing to respond to treatment.
This cause is close to my heart, and very personal. A large portion of my life has been dedicated to loved ones battling cancer. In early 2000 my Mother was diagnosed with breast cancer, which has since metastasised to her chest over 20 years later. In 2014 at the age of 25, my best friend, 2016 saw another 2 girlfriends in their 20’s and 30’s – and single mothers battling breast cancer and that same year my Father, Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma. I wish I could say they are all still with us today. I am so grateful to have been and to be a part of their journeys! THEY are my WHY! OUR future is my WHY.
Each step taken will be in honour of the strength, love, support and glimmers of miracles for everyone who has ever been affected by this disease. I am currently training and fundraising in the lead up to the event (with a goal of $4000 and at least 600km by close). I would be so grateful for your support. If you cannot join me on the walk (it doesn’t have to be the full distance) .Please give generously to my donation page.
My hope is that not only will this research discover kinder treatments and better outcomes for the women’s cancers, but will lead to life changing discoveries for all cancers.
Please help me, help the Perkins.

My Updates
Cancer ends with me!
On Saturday 3 May 2025, 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.
