30km Run for Breast Cancer Awareness

By Melvin Ju

Hello All!

I hope everybody is staying safe and getting by in these difficult times! The past few months have been difficult for all of us in so many ways. For myself personally, one of the many difficult things that our family has had to endure would be my grandmother being diagnosed with breast cancer earlier last year. Despite fighting valiantly over the stretch of 2019 and healing completely, she is now diagnosed with this cancer yet again, and continues to fight. I am extremely proud of the brave woman that my grandmother has become, and would like to join the fight, not only to help her continue fighting off her cancer, but to help and inspire many others in the process. Breast cancer is a huge issue, and if we work together in order to ensure that research is being continued, I believe we can play a large role in decreasing the number of breast cancer cases within Australia. Therefore I will be running 30km on my 23rd Birthday, in an attempt to raise awareness for this great cause. Your donation would make a great difference! 


The National Breast Cancer Foundation (NBCF) is Australia’s leading national body funding game-changing breast cancer research with money raised entirely by the Australian public.

I believe research is the best way to prevent deaths, and improve how breast cancer is diagnosed, managed and treated. 

Click 'Donate' to make a secure online donation and help me reach my goal. Every donation, big or small, will help me get there. Please donate today.

All donations over $2 are tax deductible and you will be issued with a tax-deductible receipt via email as soon as you make your donation.

Thank you so much for your support!

Thanks to everyone who showed the generosity to donate to this great cause! Breast cancer is never something anybody would want to live with so showing your support to this cause really means the world not only to myself, but countless others that are experiencing or have experienced breast cancer. In doing this run, I hoped to raise awareness of the importance of using physical activity as a road to recovery, as it is extremely important to cancer survivors both physically and mentally. 

Although the event is now officially over, the page will still be running which means that further donations will be accepted!

My Inspiration

Sunday 18th Oct
??, you are one of the most inspirational human beings I know, not only for your brave fight against breast cancer, but also for your constant positive attitude that you have in the face of adversity. It is one thing to start a brand new hobby but another to be as great and skilled as you are in spinning that diabolo, to the point where you have improved both your physical and mental health immensely. I am extremely proud of the way that you are able to continually inspire the people around you, and I’m sure that we will get through any challenge that we will face in the future. Thank you, ??.

There are many things that all of us can learn from ??, because we have all suffered this year in one way or another. In the end, what it comes down to is always staying positive and always keeping active. No matter what challenges we face, we can overcome any future!

In an effort to promote not only breast cancer, but also the importance of physical activity, I will be running 30km on October the 24th. With it being breast cancer awareness month, I would like to raise as much money as a can and contribute towards further research for breast cancer. Any donations would be greatly appreciated!
