I've conquered for Cancer Council

Kindness is free, but your support is priceless

Cancer impacts 1 in 2 Australians. 1 in 2... let that sink in. 

It could be a friend, a spouse, a child, a parent, a work colleague. 
It could be YOU.

When that diagnosis comes in, after the shock, disbelief, denial and fear, that's when you see the people around you. I mean really SEE them. 

The friend who call to check in. 
The friend who gives up her time to drive you to an appointment.
The neighbour who drops off a meal because they understand you're too exhausted to even think about what to cook, let alone actually cook. 
The people who share their stories of how they navigated their own cancer journey.

The kindness and care softens the harsh reality of scans, tests, daily treatment.  The kindness overwhelms the anxiety and fear.

I hope cancer never impacts you, I truly do. But sadly the statistics suggest it WILL impact someone in your network. 

Cancer research is advancing almost daily. Together we can make a difference! LET'S DO THIS!

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!

So far this year I’ve helped provide:

54 kids with a SunSmart education

or

2 calls to trained cancer professionals on 13 11 20

or

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