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.

My Updates

Day 31 - final day more appointments

Monday 31st Aug
For the last day of the challenge, it is quite fitting that I was getting my kms up as I was, once again, walking between different medical appointments. Appointments never seem to end with breast cancer. I have really enjoyed walking and hope to continue catching up with friends while I do it.

Today I took the Challenge to regional Vic. Walked all the sites of Strathbogie Ranges.

Gorgeous day today so made the most of the sunshine 🌞 While I was out and about I popped into a book signing.

Another busy day today so just a quick walk around the local streets.

Friday 21st Aug
Today we walked and walked and walked. I don't think my legs will ever recover. We covered every inch if the zoo and all the famous sites.

Thursday 20th Aug
I hit the pavement with a different view today.

Day 19 - pouring rain all day

Due to the relentless rain today I decided to hit Chaddy and do laps there. It's surprising how many kms you can cover in that place.

Tuesday 18th Aug
It was a beautiful winter's day today so Gus and I covered lots of kms while enjoying the 🌞

Day 17 - another day another 4km

Monday 17th Aug
Nearly hit the 80km mark today.

Day 16 - another busy day

Saturday 15th Aug
Busy with running around after the kids today so not much time for a walk. Just a quick 20 minutes

A long morning walk and catch up with Mel S today and then a shorter walk with Gus in the arvo.

Day 13 - more appointments

Thursday 13th Aug
Today was yet another day filled with medical appointments and the only bonus there is getting my kms up as I walk to each one. And my tshirt finally arrived. Gus loves it.

Day 11 - stairs again

Tuesday 11th Aug
I hit the stairs again today. Lots and lots of stairs...with some walking in-between.

Day 10 - walking to appts

Monday 10th Aug
I booked 3 different appointments today with the intention of walking to them all to get my kms up. Unfortunately, the rain had other ideas but I still managed to squeeze a few in between the downpours.

Sunday 9th Aug
Cold and rainy again today so a struggle to get outside. Didn't go far today.

Day 8 - sun's out and everyone's out

Day 7 - morning and arvo walks

Sun's finally come out so two walks today. During the morning walk we spotted some hot air balloon. It's easier to get the Kms when it's not so dreary.

Day 6 - sun's out but still too cold for gus

Thursday 6th Aug
Today the sun 🌞 tried to come out a bit this morning but still too cold for Gus to join me for my long walk around the streets. Got a few good kms in though.

Wednesday 5th Aug
It was so cold and wet today that I couldn't even get Gus to come for a walk with me. So just a really quick one today.

Tuesday 4th Aug
Today was raining and cold so just a short walk but I decided to do lots of stair climbs. I'm sure I'll pay for it tomorrow.

Day 3 - walking to medical appointments

Today I racked up the Kms walking to various medical appointments. I like to schedule as many as I can on one day, get them all over with.

Gus and I headed out for a second walk today, this time with the family. We walked a 3km loop of the wetlands at Phillip Island.
