Support my challenge to step up to breast cancer!

Right now, 56 people in Australia are diagnosed with breast cancer every day. This August, I am taking part in Step Up to Breast Cancer for the mothers, sisters, daughters, friends and loves ones who are impacted by this devastating disease. I am doing this to raise funds for National Breast Cancer Foundation (NBCF) to support vital breast cancer research to help save lives. Please make a donation to support my challenge and let's step up to breast cancer together! Thank you for your support.

Day Eight

Saturday 8th Aug
Today's post is a Gratitude post to the patrons at the Central Highlands Lodge who together last night raised $300 towards my     StepUpToBreastCancer Fundraiser. 
What an amazing effort by some absolutely awesome people. I'm so lucky to have such fantastic people supporting me in this cause. Special thanks to Danny Cole, Laura Dehaan and little Rose for organising the raffle.
Winners ....  Gerard Allford and Paul Cooke 
Thanks for the extra Donations John Costelloe and Gerard Allford.

So with their Generous donation the grand total now stands $2010. Cracking the $2000 point is more than I could have ever imagined and I'm so grateful for everyone that has donated so far.

This morning's walk saw me achieve my half mark, now 28km into my goal of 56km.👏🩷

Day seven

Friday 7th Aug
This morning's walk was foggy and icy, but brought the clocked kms up to 25km. So today's post is focused on a walk I did yesterday at the Miena Dam. With the help of hubby and his drone to capture some views of The Great Lake and Shannon Lagoon. See if you can spot the pink dot.🩷 Miena Dam has three dam walls although two are often submerged. The Tasmanian Hydro Electric Power and Metallurgical Co. built a small dam at the outlet from the Great Lake in 1911. Construction of canals and pipelines conveyed the water to Waddamana where it was intended to generate power for the treatment of complex ores. In 1914 the Government acquired the company, and by May 1916 two turbo-alternators had been installed at Waddamana Power Station. In 1919-1922 a multi-arch dam was constructed at Miena to increase the Great Lake storage and the power station was expanded to supply more power. In 1967 a sloping core rock-fill dam was built downstream; this was raised again in 1982. To finish up I would like to acknowledge yesterday's donations from The Bannon Family Amy Bannon Alison Reynolds and Tony Reynolds Heather Cindy Jones Branch Angela Durant Kathryn Summers With matched donations from major donors our grand total currently stands at 🥁🥁🥁 🩷🩷🩷 $1660 🩷🩷🩷 and here I was thinking I wouldn't even make my goal of $750...yesterday we doubled that, a gigantic big THANKYOU to all that have supported me in my StepUpToBreastCancer journey so far, you are all bloody legends!!

I would like to thank everyone again for all the support, with your donations and encouragement. No photos today of my walk sorry, just breast cancer awareness spam.

Day three

Tuesday 4th Aug
Today's walk was the coldest so far. Walking into a breeze, I must say it was good to get to the finish. The lake was even cold and broody looking this morning but still beautiful. 
I am now at 10km into my 56km goal and today would like to acknowledge Maxine Holmes ,  Maxine Saltmarsh, Karen Rawson and Paul Cooke  for their support and donations. 🩷

Day two

Sunday 2nd Aug
