Toni's Journey

July 01st 2024 - our beautiful mum crossed over to begin her next adventure reunited with our dad. She battled breast cancer twice with last year being the end of her journey. She fought incredibly hard and never wavered in strength, courage or grace. 

Our mum went through what alot of women go through every day, every year. Some beating it and some not. Seeing our mum decline as quickly as she did was not for the faint of heart and something I am always saddened to know other people go through with their loved ones. 

Breast Cancer has come such a long way to become one of the most treatable cancers with significant survival rates, however, there is no cure and it continues to burden the lives of the 58 Australian women who are diagnosed every single day.

This August, I am taking part in Step Up to Breast Cancer for my mum and the other mothers, sisters, daughters, friends and loves ones out there 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 and if you are able to donate - it will be incredibly appreciated. 

Thank you to all, wether you donated or just took the time to read and acknowledge this cruel illness, thank you.
