FOUR DAYS TO GO!!!!

There are just 4 days to go until WALK DAY!
My team mates Mandy, Denise and Maria have begun their 5km a day walks. They will finish with their last 5km on Saturday.
I will be doing the 35km, or as much as I can on Saturday, using a gopher until the lunch stop, and then relying on my plodding legs to  go from there.
THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! For all your amazing, ongoing support over the past 12 Walks.  Without your support, I couldn’t do this.
This year, I continue to honour the almighty battles that my dear friends Yackie and Rissa staged against this horrible disease.
I also plod  in celebration for the daughter of good friends who has travelled and won her own fight against cancer. 
From Tanya, the plodding turtle  💜🐢

Please help me, help the Perkins.

My Updates

Cancer ends with me!

2025 is my time to do something big for our mums, sisters, daughters, friends and loved ones living with cancer. I’m doing this Walk because no one should have to hear those two terrible words, “It’s cancer.”

This is my 12th Walk and I am  plodding in support of the daughter of good friends as she travels her own cancer journey. I continue to  plod in memory of my precious long term friends Larissa (Rissa) and Yackie (Jackie), and my Warrior Walk Sister Kylie. In 2025, I am joining Team Blister Sisters for this event.

This year, I’m committing to help the amazing women’s cancer researchers at WA’s Harry Perkins Institute of Medical Research. I’m training, fundraising and walking to support this cause. I’d be so grateful for your support.

If you can’t join me (I’d love the company), please give generously to my fundraising page.

The Perkins is dedicated to helping the women in our lives. They’re focused on pioneering medical breakthroughs and discovering new treatments for this disease and they won’t stop until cancer is history. That means so much to me. Please help me, help them.

Let’s do this- because cancer ends with me. Please join and help cancer end with ou too
