250KM for Mum 💕

💗 250KM FOR MUM 💗

This October, I’m taking on a challenge that is incredibly close to my heart. I’ll be walking and running 250km throughout the month to raise funds for the National Breast Cancer Foundation (NBCF).

My mum is currently going through chemotherapy for breast cancer, and watching someone you love go through it is something I never could have prepared myself for.

Before cancer, one of Mum’s favourite things to do was simply get outside and walk. She would regularly walk 8 to 10km a day. Fresh air, sunshine, moving her body and enjoying the little bit of freedom that comes with being outside.

Chemotherapy has taken so much from her, and one of the things I’ve watched it take away is something that brought her so much happiness: her ability to get outside and walk the way she used to.

So this October, I’m going to walk those kilometres for her.

250km. For every walk she can’t take. For every kilometre cancer has taken from her. For my mum. 🩷

Did you know that every day, 56 people in Australia are diagnosed with breast cancer and 9 people die from the disease?

I’m raising funds for the National Breast Cancer Foundation to support world class breast cancer research and help make Zero Deaths from breast cancer a reality.

Every donation helps fund vital research into prevention, early detection, improved treatments and better outcomes for people and families affected by breast cancer.

If you’re able to donate, no matter how big or small, I would be incredibly grateful. Every kilometre I walk and every dollar raised is one small step towards a future where families don’t have to watch someone they love go through this.

So Mum, this October, you rest. I’ll do the walking for both of us. 💗

Please consider supporting my fundraiser and helping me reach my 250km goal.

For Mum. For all the mums, daughters, sisters, partners and friends affected by breast cancer. And for a future with zero deaths from breast cancer. 🎀
