Help me reach my goal of $250

I'm now a Pink Hero

Did you know that every day 58 people in Australia are diagnosed with breast cancer and 9 Australians die every day from this disease?  

I've decided to host an event and raise funds for world-class breast cancer research to help National Breast Cancer Foundation (NBCF) towards their vision of Zero Deaths from breast cancer.

Please support me and my pledge to save lives and make a difference.

Every donation, big or small, will get me closer to reaching my goal. Together, we can stop deaths from breast cancer.

My Updates

Update 29th May

Thursday 29th May
Last night I was discharged from hospital. Surgery went well, the surgical team believe they got all of the cancer and took extra margins in the hope of preventing future surgeries. The medical team were all great, the nurses are amazing! 

Now I rest and heal and wait for next week's appointment to determine treatment plan, I also have an appointment with a naturpath. Feeling a sense of relief that the cancer is out and also that I woke up (I was terrified about surgery). 

Thanks to everyone for supporting this cause and also for all of the love, well wishes and support.

Slight speed bump

Tuesday 20th May
So I was mentally prepared and ready for tomorrow and just received the call from my surgeon, my surgery is delayed until next Tuesday.  

A bit of a head f$@k but I always say everything happens for a reason. 

Countdown is on

Monday 19th May
Two more sleeps until I head into surgery. In simple language, I will be getting the cancer removed (right breast), lymph nodes removal and a double reduction. I am somewhat terrified of what's to come although I am excited to get it out, so  many mixed emotions 

Thanks everyone for your words of encouragement and supporting this cause. Without research, years ago my diagnosis would of been an automatic death sentence but I am so grateful medicine and treatment has significantly progressed meaning better outcomes for who are impacted by BC.

I am hopeful, optimistic and determined to beat this and to turn a really shitty situation into a positive. My glass is still half full, just a massive crack in it right now!

Thanks and much love ?

My Journey

Saturday 17th May
On 10th April 2025, my world was turned upside down when I heard the words it's cancer. My diagnosis of invasive mucinous carcinoma (one of the less common types of breast cancer, only about 6% people have this type) has changed my outlook on life. Although my journey has just begun, surgery on 21st May followed by treatment, which I am told will be a marathon I am determined to fight and beat this. I am also grateful for organisations like the NBCF and research which has improved treatments and outcomes for many people affected by this horrible disease.  I have made pledges in the past to go pink and fundraise for friends who have been impacted this year I've joined them as a pink warrior.

Depending on what is to come after surgery my event may virtual only but regardless it will be pink! 

Thanks everyone for your donations, support and well wishes xx
