My Story
Last May, at just 20 years old, my life changed in an instant when I was diagnosed with T-cell lymphoblastic lymphoma. It was something I never imagined I would face at such a young age. Yet something I wouldn’t change for the world, as it has put a whole new importance and perspective on life.
Since my diagnosis, I endured over 12 months of intensive weekly IV chemo, CNS chemo, hospital visits, and more blood and medication requests than I can remember. Cancer has changed the way I live my life in more ways than one, but most importantly not to take one step for granted.
In the deepest parts of my treatment I struggled to even walk to the toilet, or stand up without grabbing a wall. Something that left jealously and hatred in me towards anyone who complained of “going to work” or “going to the gym”. Purely because of how much I wished for that normal again. To just walk…
Today, I'm incredibly grateful to be in remission, although my treatment journey isn't over yet. I'm still undergoing oral chemotherapy daily and continue to take each day as it comes, knowing there are still hurdles ahead, and years left before I am in any sort of clearness.
That's why I've decided to take on the 28km Seven Bridge Walk in Sydney on October 25th.
Every step I take is for everyone affected by cancer. For those still fighting, those we've lost, and the those who stand beside us through it all.
I'm walking to raise awareness and funds for cancer research because if it wasn’t for research in the first place, myself and millions of others wouldn’t be standing in the position we are today. Research gives people like me hope. The treatments that have helped me reach remission exist because of the dedication of researchers, healthcare professionals, and the generosity of those who support cancer charities. Whether that’s participating, donating or simply sharing on socials. By doing so, you're helping fund the next breakthrough treatment and giving future patients a better chance.
If you're able to support my fundraiser, no matter the amount, I would be so grateful. Thank you for helping me turn one of the hardest chapters of my life into an opportunity to make a difference for others.
So far this year I’ve helped provide:
574 kids with a SunSmart education
22 calls to trained cancer professionals on 13 11 20
28 hours of a research assistant's time to work on research we fund
