I've conquered for Cancer Council

My strength and inspiration came from heartbreak

Cancer has touched my life in the most personal way, taking people I love deeply, including my dad and my Nonna. Watching their journey was both heartbreaking and inspiring. I saw their pain, their courage, and their unwavering determination to keep fighting, even on the hardest days.

They showed me what true strength looks like. Not just in the big moments, but in the quiet ones too—when getting through the day was a victory in itself. Their resilience and bravery continue to inspire me every single day.

Now, I carry their strength with me. I strive to be as courageous and as tough as they were, honouring their memory in everything I do. Supporting this cause is my way of continuing their fight and making a difference, so that others may one day be spared the same loss.


I’m walking for a cancer free future in Dad's name!

Mum and I are 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!

So far this year I’ve helped provide:

122 kids with a SunSmart education

or

4 calls to trained cancer professionals on 13 11 20

or

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