Day 21!
We are passing the halfway mark and while my body is certainly weak my determination remains. It’s been such a thrill to raise funds again this year for NBCF and I’m so proud of our Booty Benders for staying at the top of the national leaderboard all this time. We are leading literally thousands of supporters across Australia and that’s kinda of a big deal. Well done to all the team and our supporters for getting us there. Let’s bring it home and meet our $15,000 goal for 2024!What a start!
Can you believe how close we are to reaching our first goal this month and it’s only day 1 of our squats challenge? I’m amazed and you can bet I’ll be increasing our goal to stretch us all a little further. Since starting in 2021 Booty Benders has now raised almost $50,000. I’m going to have to go back and check our numbers, maybe we’ve exceeded that by now with the efforts of the last two days.Our 57 Squat Challenge for breast cancer research
In October 2020 I was diagnosed with stage IV breast cancer with wide spread bone metastases. This diagnosis came after months of back pain and multiple visits to medical practitioners to determine the origin of my issues. It kicked of an intense period of treatment, surgery, recovery and more treatment. Fast forward to February 2024 and against some pretty steep odds, I am still here and still relatively healthy in spite of my cancer. In February 2021 I lead my first Squat Challenge and have been coming back each year since with my band of incredible supporters. Our goal is to raise the funds needed to meet the needs of the 57 Australians diagnosed with breast cancer every day and a further 9 who will lose their lives to this disease each day. We want to make a difference to the lives of those 57 Australians impacted by the disease - that is why we are taking on the 57 Squat Challenge to raise vital funds for world-class breast cancer research. But we need your help.
Please support our squat challenge to save lives and make a difference.
Every donation, big or small, will get us closer to reaching our goal and helping the National Breast Cancer Foundation end deaths from breast cancer.
Thank you to our Sponsors

Susan, you are a wonderful person in so many ways. An advocate for the National Breast Cancer Foundation is but one of the many charitable organisations you selflessly support. We are fully behind every 'squat' you and your team do. Your efforts support so many people.
