I've conquered for Cancer Council
A kind of pilgrimage
Tomorrow I'm walking the Seven Bridges Walk for Cancer Council NSW.
Why? For a roll call of important people in my life. My dad, leukaemia. My mum, breast cancer. My uncle, liver cancer. My high school bestie, lung cancer. My business partner and dear friend, brain cancer. Another close friend, prostate cancer. Another, bladder cancer. Most recently, two people I love very much affected by bowel cancer.
Each one went on a big, unwanted journey of having to face their cancer. Some in remission, some departed. While their lives were changed most of all, I was one of many who walked alongside them. Their journeys shaped mine too.
What strikes me is that Cancer Council NSW is there for every one of them: every kind of cancer, every person, and the families and friends beside them.
So tomorrow I walk for them. If you can give anything at all, even a few dollars, it would mean a great deal. 💛
So far this year I’ve helped provide:
1978 kids with a SunSmart education
76 calls to trained cancer professionals on 13 11 20
98 hours of a research assistant's time to work on research we fund

Hi Noni - sorry I didn’t donate more - have just donated to quite a few cancer funds quite some $$’s - love what you are doing so wanted to donate something! I am not sure if you have ‘heard’, but I’m currently going through my own Breast Cancer journey since I saw you - going ok (I mean pretty well now!) …but it’s been big enough along the way! Started this in Sept ‘25 with mammogram check at end of August - it was a shock - get the ‘girls’ checked! So important …I hope to finish all my formal treatments in February ‘27 & then just stay on a daily med to block my hormones for years! 🥴🫣 got a ‘new look’ now! You are doing a great thing so well done! The support is so important and so necessary hey!! Good luck with it all! 👌🙌💖💕xox
