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 get active and set myself a challenge to 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.

I am recently diagnosed with Breast Cancer and have set the end date of my challenge as the scheduled date of my surgery for a Mastectomy… I am walking one kilometre for every year of my life to donate to this wonderful cause.

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

Getting closer

Friday 31st Oct
As I get closer to surgery date, my anxiety is getting worse and worse… walking is a great way to get out of my head for an hour and relax just a little…
Only a couple of kms to go to achieve my goal!

Hard week

Sunday 26th Oct
Sorry everyone for the lack of updates! It’s been a pretty tough week mentally, as I get closer to surgery date!
My mind is swirling with all kinds of thoughts, but I have managed to keep up the walks… I have got out in the sun a couple of times, but most days I have struggled to even get out of my pyjamas - so the treadmill has been my best friend! 
I will hit my target!

Weather!

Tuesday 21st Oct
This weather is not helping my achievements but have managed some indoor walks on the treadmill…. Not the same, but still gets the heart rate up! Hopefully tomorrow will be better weather..

First walk done :)
