Nothing will stop me....

In the past 4 weeks I've had 4 cortisone injections in my back.  I'm still walking on the 2nd May albeit in a lot of pain.  
After going through breast cancer, I know the feeling of pain all too well.  This is just another glitch in the Matrix and the main thing is I'm still able to fund raise for the Harry Perkins, so hopefully they find an amazing cure, or a better way to treat cancer when it hits.  I have total faith that one day we will see on the news "The team at Harry Perkins has made a medical breakthrough in the field of breast and ovarian cancer..."
I will continue to fundraise, and walk, so I can be proud of being a part of this.
You can come alongside and donate, so you too can be part of the success of the Harry Perkins.

Please help me, help the Perkins.

My Updates

Cancer ends 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.

It's that time again....

Training has begun, and my first blister appeared last night after a 2 hour walk.  Whacked on the ice, and no blister this morning. Perfect.
