Paint the Highway Pink

TEAM STEP TOTAL 274893

Carry a mate

Carry A Mate is where you donate or do extra ks for someone else doing the challenge that for whatever reason is unable to complete or is struggling to do the challenge. For me doing this challenge isn’t just about clocking ks it’s about helping others, giving each other support, raising awareness & hope for all those whom have been impacted/ affected by breast cancer. Today the 9th Aug I stoped recording my ks to the challenge because we have a fellow participant whom is also doing this, just needs them more, so I offered to carry them and they accepted so I am very honoured to give every step from today to this person, till I help them reach their target. So if your looking at my Ks on my page and think I’m not doing much, well today the 9th Aug I did a total of 27.5ks donated ks. here’s 1 session the 2nd is in my pis apologise due to privacy concerns I am unable to name this person or share my maps

Please help support

I’m not that great with words or know where to begin so I’m just going to share with you all just one of the reasons, why I’m participating in the step up for breast cancer challenge. I knew an old man once, he never had much to say but when he did, you just sit there, listen for many years he’d never smile, some say he was a grump others say he was humble & kind. He was POW in WW2 & had many scars but one day he was struggling to put a tyre back on the old HG so I rushed in & help him, with out sound, we got the tyre back on and he sat back and watch me turn the spanner around, got all the nuts on lowered the wheel back to ground, tighten the nuts off & I said β€œdone” & he said β€œcome here kid β€œ So I did… He looked straight at me but he had something I’ve never seen on his face before He had the biggest a smile from ear to ear and tears slowly falling from his eyes He slowly wiped away his tears and softly said β€œnow kid, you may not be able to change the world but you can change the world for one person and today that person was me so thank you. See in that moment I learned something truly valuable.. & that sometimes actions speak louder then words.. Therefore for all the fighters For all the survivors For all the families Whom have been affected by breast cancer I’m not only stepping up this time around but I’m going try my best with my busted ankles , to achieve a dream of mine & walk town to town in all pink in an effort to raise hope, awareness, support… P.s here’s a pic of me on the highway I’m going to walk. Thank you for reading πŸ’•πŸ™πŸ’• πŸ’™πŸ¦‹πŸ’™

Paint the highway pink

The National Breast Cancer Foundation is one charity that is truly close to my heart & for all the fighters, for all the survivors, for all the families words cannot express how much we care, how much they need help, & support, to help fight this devastating disease. But actions can, so on August 22nd I’m going to do my best to achieve a dream of mine The dream - a 115kms walk in all pink on the Caslereagh Highway from Walgett NSW to Coonamble NSW. Now this probably will be the slowest hobble wobble walk in all pink ever to be recorded Because I’m a heavy smoker, ain’t that fit, plus will need some help out on the highway. But it’s not about me it’s about the 56 Aussie’s that are diagnosed everyday Breast Cancer. Please help in anyway you can. Thank you for reading & viewing some of the pics I’ve taken while training.. πŸ’• to all.

Nessy, what an incredibly inspiring thing you are doing by taking on the Step Up to Breast Cancer Challenge. πŸ’—πŸŽ€ Every step you take represents strength, hope and love for the thousands of women and families whose lives have been touched by breast cancer. By challenging yourself and raising much-needed funds, you’re helping support vital breast cancer research and bringing us closer to a future where no family has to experience the heartbreak this disease can bring. Be proud of every kilometre, every donation and every person you inspire along the way. You’re not just walking — you’re walking for hope, for those fighting, for the survivors, and in memory of the beautiful souls we’ve lost. So proud of you, Nessy. Keep stepping forward and know that there are so many people cheering you on every step of the way. πŸ’•πŸŽ€ You’ve got this, Nessy! One step at a time, making a beautiful difference. πŸ’—
