Walk with them

This year, I’m walking the 7 Bridges Walk for two very personal reasons.

I’ve lost one of my grandmothers to brain cancer.

My other grandmother is currently battling cancer that has spread throughout her bowel, lungs and liver. Watching someone you love endure the physical and emotional toll of cancer is something I wouldn’t wish on anyone.

So I’m walking for them.

The 7 Bridges Walk is only a small snapshot of fatigue compared to the long, exhausting road that cancer sufferers and their families endure. For me, every step is a small way of sharing in that exhaustion — of acknowledging the pain, uncertainty, resilience and sheer strength that comes with living with cancer.

I’m also walking to help raise funds to increase access to quality-of-life resources for people living with cancer, at every stage of life. Because cancer care isn’t just about treatment. It’s about helping people live as comfortably, independently and meaningfully as possible throughout their journey.

For my grandmothers. For the people currently fighting. For those who have lost their battle. And for the families walking beside them.

Every donation, no matter how big or small, can help make that journey a little easier.

❤️ If you’re able to support my walk, I’d be incredibly grateful.

I’m walking for a cancer free future

I’m taking on 7 Bridges Walk on Sunday 25 October 2026 and will be uniting with the community to walk 28km around Sydney Harbour. 

Every year in NSW alone, more than 56,000 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!
