I'M SQUATTING TO SUPPORT Tracey

I am dedicating my participation in this challenge to the 58 Australians that are diagnosed with breast cancer every day, but especially to one of those Australians in particular, my mum. She was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2009 when I was just 8, and at 43 years old, she was told she had 5 years left to live. I remember it like it was yesterday, walking into my parent's bedroom and seeing my two older siblings crying in mum's arms, when dad told me why, I joined them. At that age, I didn't entirely understand what cancer was, but I knew it was a terrible disease. My mum used to pray to God that she would live to see her last baby, who was only 5 at the time, turn 18. 11 years later, in 2020, she was told she was cancer free, that she had beaten cancer and gained the title "survivor". As you can imagine, we were all ecstatic! But this was ripped away from her just a year later in 2021 when she was told her breast cancer was back, triple negative, and had spread to her bone marrow. This time she was given 1 year to live. Her youngest would turn 18 that year, her prayer was answered. Thankfully, she has outlived that life expectancy and has just surpassed her 3rd year in December 2024. She must remain on chemotherapy until the day she dies, as she has been told there is nothing else that can be done. To think there are 58 others, and their loved ones, that start this horrific journey every single day, is absolutely gut wrenching. If I could, I would cure everyone from this terrible disease and take away their pain. But I cannot, so I will squat 58 times every day in March, to raise money for the 58 people in Australia who are diagnosed daily. It may become a little difficult, but it is NOTHING compared to what these people have gone through, are going through, or have yet to go through.

My 58 Squat Challenge for breast cancer research

58 Australians will be diagnosed with breast cancer today and a further 9 will die. I want to make a difference to the lives of those 58 Australians impacted by the disease - that is why I am taking on the 58 Squat Challenge to raise vital funds for world-class breast cancer research. But I need your help.

Please support my squat challenge to save lives and make a difference.

Every donation, big or small, will get me closer to reaching my goal and helping the National Breast Cancer Foundation end deaths from breast cancer.
