After two years of virtual events, what a thrill to be able to walk as a group this year. I’m looking forward to walking our beautiful Harbour Bridge but also discovering some news locations around our city.

This is my first year as an ambassador for the event and my first time taking part in the walk. I’ve often read the news on the day of the walk and thought how great it looked. I’m excited to be there in person this year.

My colleagues Mark Ferguson and Mel McLaughlin have spoken so highly of this event for years so I thought it’s time to get involved! Also both my parents have been impacted by cancer and are thankfully doing well now but it’s always in my mind that more money, research and awareness will help others too. 

Have fun and take as long as you need. Make a day of it! There are plenty of drink and snack stops along the way to refuel.

How many of us know of someone who has been impacted by cancer? Too many. That’s enough inspiration for me to want to eliminate this disease from our lives in the future - even if it’s just one step at a time. 

This is a really important year. After the pandemic got in the way – it will be wonderful to see the community join forces again and take on 7 Bridges Walk. We need as many people as possible to take part – to raise as much money as possible.

Stay well hydrated, apply your sunscreen and hat, wear your most comfortable joggers and don't forget to look up and take in our fabulous city.

Way back in 2012, two of my sons, Jack and Ted – eight and 12 at the time - walked with me. We had a great day. But I think just meeting the many people along the way - those walking in memory of or to support their loved ones, their friends, colleagues, classmates all battling the disease. Truly inspiring people.
