🌸 Walking With Purpose, Walking With Gratitude 🌸

Every time I head out for my training, I’m reminded of just how lucky I am to be alive. 🚶‍♀️💖  

Each step is a quiet moment of reflection — a reminder of the journey I’ve walked, the battles I’ve fought, and the strength I never knew I had until cancer demanded it of me.

As I walk, I think of all the women whose lives have been touched by cancer. 🎗️  
The diagnosis.  
The surgery.  
The treatments.  
The recovery.  
The remission.  
The all clear that fills you with hope.  
None of it is easy. Every part of it asks something of you — courage, patience, resilience, and a belief that tomorrow is worth fighting for.

✨ “You never know how strong you are until being strong is your only choice".

Cancer tests you in ways you can’t prepare for. It shakes you, reshapes you, and somehow reveals a strength you didn’t know lived inside you. And yet, through all of it, women continue to rise — with grace, with grit, and with a fire that refuses to go out. 🔥💪

When I walk, I walk for them.  
I walk for myself.  
I walk for every woman who has fought, is fighting, or will fight this dis-ease.  
And I walk with the hope that one day, we will see a world where no woman has to hear the words “you have cancer.”

✨ “Alone we are strong. Together we are unstoppable.”

We stand together.  
We lift each other.  
We never give up. 💗🌸💪

Please help me, help the Perkins.

Cancer Stops 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.

🌸 Walking for Women, Walking for Hope

This year marks my first Walk for Women’s Cancer, and I’m stepping into it with a full heart and a powerful purpose.

I walk in honour of all the women who have lost their lives to breast cancer and other women’s cancers — the mothers, daughters, sisters, friends, and warriors whose stories continue to inspire strength and hope. Their courage lives on in every step I take.

I also walk for every woman who is fighting right now, battling with everything she has to beat this disease. Every kilometre is for her. Every moment of training is for her. Every blister, ache, and early morning is for her.

And every donation I receive goes directly toward funding life‑saving research at the Perkins Institute, helping scientists push closer to the breakthroughs we desperately need. Together, we are helping to eradicate this dis‑ease — step by step, dollar by dollar, story by story.

Thank you for supporting my walk, my purpose, and the women we honour. 💗👟

Strong and motivated

Over the past 2 weeks, I’ve clocked up 24kms 🚶‍♀️✨  
Slow and steady — building strength, increasing my kilometres each week, and adding other exercises into my training program. Every step is a step closer to that 35km challenge… and I’m feeling more determined than ever 💪💗  

🌸 Walking for Women, Walking for Hope

This year, I’m taking part in the 2026 Walk for Women’s Cancer, and this one is deeply personal.

I’m walking for a dear friend of mine who is currently going through breast cancer — a woman whose courage, grace, and determination remind me every day what real strength looks like. I’m walking beside her in spirit, step by step, hoping she feels the love and support surrounding her.

I’m also walking for all women who are fighting, surviving, or living with the impact of cancer. Every story matters. Every woman matters.

And I’m walking for myself, too — as a cancer survivor who knows firsthand how life-changing this journey is. I walk with gratitude for the care I received, for the people who stood by me, and for the chance to give back.

This cause is close to my heart because cancer doesn’t just affect one person — it affects families, friendships, and entire communities. But together, we can make a difference. Together, we can push for better research, better treatments, and better outcomes. One day, we will find a cure.

If you’d like to support my fundraising, I’d be incredibly grateful. Every donation, every share, every message of encouragement helps more than you know.

Thank you for walking this path with me — for my friend, for all women, and for survivors like me.
