I’m walking the 7 Bridges Walk for the Cancer Council again this year! BUT, this time, I’m doing it alone.

Why? Because not everyone facing cancer has a support system. And even for those who do, like my wonderful mum did, it can still feel incredibly isolating.

She’s told me how, despite having family around her, no one truly understood the toll it took. The exhaustion. The fear. The mental weight of it all. Cancer doesn’t just affect your body, it changes everything. And often, you're fighting battles that no one else can see.

So, this year I’m walking solo. In honour of the lonely parts of the journey. For the people doing it tough, and for those who feel like no one quite gets it.

I’ve set myself a goal to raise over $1,000 (let's beat last years total!!), to support the work of the Cancer Council in funding research, prevention programs, and vital support services.

If you can, please donate. Every dollar helps, no matter how much! Every person deserves to feel a little less alone in their fight. 💛

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!
