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 28

Friday 28th Aug
🩷 𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇𝐄𝐃 𝐆𝐈𝐕𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐃𝐀𝐘 + 𝐃𝐀𝐘 𝟐𝟖 🩷 𝑻𝒐𝒅𝒂𝒚 𝒊𝒔 𝑴𝒂𝒕𝒄𝒉𝒆𝒅 𝑮𝒊𝒗𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝑫𝒂𝒚! 🎀 That means 𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒓𝒚 𝒅𝒐𝒏𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝒎𝒂𝒅𝒆 𝒕𝒐𝒅𝒂𝒚 𝒘𝒊𝒍𝒍 𝒃𝒆 𝒎𝒂𝒕𝒄𝒉𝒆𝒅, so your donation can go even further to support breast cancer research. 💗 I’m currently sitting at 𝟔𝟖𝐤𝐦 for the challenge! 👟🚲 The last few days have knocked me for six with the cold that’s going around, so I haven’t had much energy to walk or ride. Today I’m hoping to at least get out for an easy stroll in the sunshine or jump on the bike and keep increasing those kilometres — even if it’s only a little bit. 🩷 I also want to say a 𝐦𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐓𝐇𝐀𝐍𝐊 𝐘𝐎𝐔 to everyone who has donated so far. I’ve tried to personally message everyone to say thank you, but there are some sneaky people donating anonymously… so I have no idea who you are! 😂 To all donors — 𝐓𝐇𝐀𝐍𝐊 𝐘𝐎𝐔 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐛𝐨𝐭𝐭𝐨𝐦 𝐨𝐟 𝐦𝐲 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐭!🥰 Your generosity means more than you know. There are only a few days to go, and I’d love to finish this challenge knowing we’ve raised as much as possible for the 𝐍𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐁𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐭 𝐂𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐫 𝐅𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 (𝐍𝐁𝐂𝐅) and the vital research that helps improve the prevention, detection and treatment of breast cancer. 🎀 🩷 𝐈𝐟 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐜𝐚𝐧, 𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐞 𝐝𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐭𝐨𝐝𝐚𝐲 𝐰𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐝𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐛𝐞 𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐝: https://fundraise.nbcf.org.au/fundraisers/melaniepreston-reid/step-up And if donating isn’t possible, 𝒑𝒍𝒆𝒂𝒔𝒆 𝒔𝒉𝒂𝒓𝒆 𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒔 𝒑𝒐𝒔𝒕. Every share helps spread awareness and hopefully reaches someone who can donate. 𝟔𝟖𝐤𝐦 𝐝𝐨𝐰𝐧… 𝐨𝐧𝐥𝐲 𝐚 𝐟𝐞𝐰 𝐝𝐚𝐲𝐬 𝐥𝐞𝐟𝐭! 𝐋𝐞𝐭’𝐬 𝐬𝐞𝐞 𝐡𝐨𝐰 𝐟𝐚𝐫 𝐰𝐞 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐠𝐨 𝐭𝐨𝐠𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫. 🩷🎀

It’s cold and wet but i still got some kms

Monday 10th Aug
Today was too cold and wet for me to walk so the exercise bike it was. Over 6km on the bike taking my total to 26km. Feeling good!

Day 5

Friday 7th Aug
🩷 DAY 5 UPDATE 🩷 Day 5 and I’ve just ticked over 13km and together we’ve already raised an amazing $540! 🎉 I am so incredibly grateful to everyone who has donated so far. Every single donation, no matter the amount, means so much. 🩷 In just the 5 days since August began, around 280 people in Australia have been diagnosed with breast cancer. That number really puts into perspective why fundraising and supporting breast cancer research is so important. If you can spare a few dollars, I would be so grateful for your support. And if donating isn’t possible, sharing my fundraiser on your wall helps too — it might reach someone who can. 🩷 Thank you to everyone who has donated, shared or cheered me on so far. I’ve still got plenty of kilometres ahead of me! 👟💕 https://fundraise.nbcf.org.au/fundraisers/melaniepreston-reid/step-up #StepUp #BreastCancerResearch #NBCF #Fundraising #EveryStepCounts

1st walk done

Friday 7th Aug
1st walk of the month done! 2.5km done and $292 raised so far! A massive thank you to everyone who has donated already - I really appreciate it. I’m taking on 56+ km to raise funds for the 56 Australians diagnosed with breast cancer each day. $56 could help fund researchers to develop training tools for radiologists to improve the accuracy of breast cancer screenings & I’d be so grateful if you could support me with a donation to my page: https://fundraise.nbcf.org.au/fundraisers/melaniepreston-reid/step-up

One week until start time

Friday 24th Jul
With just over a week until I start this challenge I thought I would say a big thank you to those who have already donated. It means a lot. I will be walking or riding 56km for the month of August and if i make the 56km quickly I’ll increase the target km. Hoping for some beautiful weather to walk in but as farmers we need the rain so I have my exercise bike ready to jump on and ride out some KM.

Thank you to my Sponsors
