When I started this 7 years ago, I did it as a challenge for myself and it was a good cause. Since that fist year, every year I have walked ,I  have  had at least one person close to me be diagnosed with this disease. Every year I walk for them, and with so many women with their own stories. Th day itself is so special and the Perkins family is one  that gives so may hope and a future 💞

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.

Thank you 💜

Thank you to all my supporters and a special call out to those of you who have donated every year. I couldn’t do it without you 👣👣
