My 58 Squat Challenge for breast cancer research

I NEVER THOUGHT MY BOOBS WOULD TRY AND KILL ME.... BUT THEY DID!!!!
In 2012, as a healthy 32 year old with no family history, I was diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer - A massive shock to myself and my family and friends.
The following couple of years were a blur of surgeries, multiple admissions to hospital with infections, lots of tears, 32 HIDEOUS chemo infusions, loosing ALL my hair, early menopause and 6 weeks of relentless daily radiotherapy which left my skin blistered, broken and weeping, and my energy levels at an all time low. Add to that the endless other ridiculously shitty and always surprising responses my body threw at me as a result of being constantly poisoned, medicated and radiated. Think folliculitis, constipation, and insomnia...
Then, just for shits and giggles, I had to take antihormone therapy for 10 years which basically made my body think it was 20 years older than it was.
But it was all worth it because as you all know I'M ALIVE! And I will forever be grateful for the incredible treatment I received, the staff who quite literally saved my life, and the wonderful support my family and I were so lucky to accept.
The National Breast Cancer Foundation were a huge part of my journey and helped me with everything from breast care nurses and wirefree post surgical bras, to wigs, scarves, and lessons on how to draw eyebrows, to access to additional specialists and testing, and funding the relentless researchers behind the scenes working on treatments and ultimately a cure.
So, to thank them for all of that and more, I'm committing to do AT LEAST 58 squats a day for the month of March. 58 is how many women who just like me, will be diagnosed with breast cancer EVERY SINGLE DAY and need the support and care I was so lucky to receive.
If you wanna get on board and join my team (and get some sweet perky buns while you're at it) feel free to click on the link below and follow the prompts, but if you would prefer to leave the glutes out of it, then maybe you can flick my page some cashola instead. A little or a lot, I'll be grateful either way!
Whether you do or don't, let me just say this: guys and gals (yes guys can get BC too!) CHECK YOUR BOOBS! Get any lumps, bumps or weirdness checked quick sticks. And if you are 40 or over, get yourself booked in for an annual mammogram.... they aren't what I'd call fun, but they really aren't as bad as you think!

Let's get squatting!

Please support my squat challenge to save lives and make a difference.

Every donation, big or small, will get me closer to reaching my goal and helping the National Breast Cancer Foundation end deaths from breast cancer.
