Support my challenge to step up to breast cancer!

Right now, 58 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.

Getting back into shape & getting active again in different ways, I haven’t played basketball or netball since I was in my early 20’s so it’s been 20+ years now & I added it to my walk as part of my Step Up for Breast Cancer for the National Breast Cancer Foundation Australia ?

Added An Activity To Our Walk Yesterday

Wednesday 6th Aug
Yesterday on my walk with Dayzee, we went to a local park that was on our walking path and we had some fun shooting hoops at the basketball court that is at the park and we had thought ahead so we borrowed her sons basketball & carried it with us and we had a fun time and it was great exercise & something I haven’t done in at least 20+ years now and we even went to the other side of the court and tried the Netball ring to challenge ourselves and I can’t believe how easy it used to be and now I just have zero oomph in my shots but it was a fun day so we didn’t care that we were completely missing the ring and it was nice to be out doing something active & having a laugh at ourselves while we were at it ??

August 2nd & 3rd 2025

Sunday 3rd Aug
I have had a very busy weekend with some personal commitments and have been unable to get a walk in but I have some walks planned for during the week and I will be taking photos and documenting my walks.

At some point I will be posting some photos and videos of earrings to sell as part of my fundraising which has been approved by the NBCF, and I have a letter from them stating that.
All earrings have been made by myself as a hobby but also as an activity to work on my hand coordination after having cervical spine surgery in August 2024.
All proceeds from earring sales goes directly to the NBCF via the QR code from my fundraising page. 

Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend & I hope the week ahead is kind to you all :)

AUGUST 1st 2025 - DAY 1 of Step Up

Friday 1st Aug

First Official Walk of The Month 


Today kicks off August & the official start of the Step Up for Breast Cancer Fundraiser with the National Breast Cancer Foundation, and I have chosen to take part in this fundraiser in honour of my beautiful mum Julie who we devastatingly lost only recently on 3/7/2025 and she told me I was allowed to be sad but I had to keep going.


So, today was a short & sweet walk down memory lane, we parked in the parking lot at the Patterson River Boat Ramp in Carrum, Melbourne and then we walked our way up towards Carrum Beach.


It was an absolutely freezing cold day here in Melbourne & especially walking along the water, but I chose to go here because it holds a lot of memories & sentimental feelings of the countless amount of times that mum & I walked around the river together.


I know mum will be proud of me for doing this as she would want me to be participating in such a great cause and getting exercise which helps me with my health issues too & she would be upset if I didn't continue to look after myself.


Hope you all had a wonderful first day of August & I'll be aiming to update my blog every day, please keep an eye out for :) 


Thank you to my Sponsors
