* I will be running my first marathon (42.2km) in Chicago on the 13 October.
* I started running on 12 September last year and have since completed 1812kms.
* I am presently running 65km per week as part of my training program.
With the challenge of a marathon I figured it would be a good opportunity to raise money for a cause close to my heart - Breast Cancer.
As you may be aware my late mother was a victim of this nasty form of cancer so doing my best to prevent others from getting this disease is a high priority.
Now it's over to you to help make a difference too.

I'm getting active and setting myself a challenge to raise money for NBCF and world-class breast cancer research.
The National Breast Cancer Foundation (NBCF) is Australia’s leading national body funding game-changing breast cancer research with money raised entirely by the Australian public.
I believe research is the best way to prevent deaths, and improve how breast cancer is diagnosed, managed and treated.
