I'm taking on Cancer Council's The March Charge...

Cancer has profoundly impacted my life, especially since my sister's battle with it. It’s been a challenging journey, not just for her, but for our entire family. I've witnessed firsthand how this disease affects everyone—children, parents, even grandparents. The emotional, physical, and mental toll it takes on both the individual and their loved ones is beyond words. That’s why I’m so passionate about raising awareness and supporting the fight against leukemia. This cause is close to my heart, and I will continue to stand behind it, for my sister and for everyone who faces this battle.

This year, I’m taking part in a month-long fitness challenge to raise funds for world-class cancer research, prevention programs, and vital support services. In Australia, an estimated 162,000 people will be diagnosed with cancer this year. I’m doing my part to change this by getting active and fundraising for those impacted by cancer.

Please consider sponsoring me today to help make every kilometre count! Every dollar raised will go towards supporting Cancer Council’s life-saving cancer research, prevention programs, and essential support services, like their free, confidential Information and Support line (13 11 20).

Let’s tell cancer where to go!
