Cancer Stops With Me!

On Saturday 2 May 2026 and the week leading up to it, 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, daughters, friends and loved ones living with cancer. 

Last year, my mum fought this horrible disease and won, a victory which we celebrate. But more recently, we lost someone very dear to me, my friend and colleague of over 20 years, a beautiful lady called Narelle (Hydes). My colleagues and I have now joined forces and created a Team (Hydes Pride) with the commitment 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 and the team (the more the better!!), please consider donating via my page

I don't want anyone to have to hear "You have cancer". Please help me, my colleagues, friends and the Perkins make that that vision a reality.

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

Please help me, help the Perkins.
