On Saturday 1 May 2027, I'm challenging myself to walk 35km as part of the New Town Toyota Walk for Women's Cancer for the 14th time.. I'm doing this Walk to do something big for our mums, sisters, daughters, friends and loved ones living with cancer. 

Next year I will be walking as part of a new team Plodding For a Purpose and I will be carrying my friend Michelle with me, every step of the way.

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.
