I've conquered for Cancer Council

Remembering my sister's death

Hi. Today is 13 years since my sister died from cancer. The grief does not get easier.
For the last 8 years, I have done a big fundraising event in Sydney called the 𝑺𝑬𝑽𝑬𝑵 𝑩𝑹𝑰𝑫𝑮𝑬𝑺 𝑾𝑨𝑳𝑲 to try and keep her memory, draw attention to cancer and raise funds for cancer research. Tamsin benefited from the volunteers and services provided through NSW Cancer Council so this is a good cause.
𝑰 𝒉𝒂𝒗𝒆 𝒏𝒐𝒘 𝒘𝒂𝒍𝒌𝒆𝒅 224𝒌𝒎 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒄𝒓𝒐𝒔𝒔𝒆𝒅 56 𝒃𝒓𝒊𝒅𝒈𝒆𝒔. 𝑰 𝒉𝒂𝒗𝒆 𝒓𝒂𝒊𝒔𝒆𝒅 𝒂𝒓𝒐𝒖𝒏𝒅 $15,000 𝒕𝒉𝒓𝒐𝒖𝒈𝒉 𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒔 𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒏𝒕.
Will you help me get to $20,000?? Your sponsorship means so much to me and will help reduce deaths.

I’m walking for a cancer free future

I’m taking on 7 Bridges Walk on Sunday 26th October 2025 and will be uniting with the community to walk 28km around Sydney Harbour. 

Every year in NSW alone, more than 53,000 new cases of cancer are expected to be diagnosed and the impact on families, carers and communities is significant. 

Please sponsor me and help those affected by cancer. Every step counts because all funds raised will help Cancer Council NSW work towards the vision of a cancer free future. Thank you for your support!

So far this year I’ve helped provide:

684 kids with a SunSmart education

or

26 calls to trained cancer professionals on 13 11 20

or

34 hours of a research assistant's time to work on research we fund

Thank you to my Sponsors
