My 58 Squat Challenge for breast cancer research
On 18 November 2024, I was one of the 58 Australians who was diagnosed with breast cancer on that day.
It's been the biggest unexpected curve ball that life has ever thrown me.
I never thought breast cancer would happen to me. I've always prioritised my health. I have no family history. I'm young (47)!
Even when I found a lump, I didn't immediately worry that I had breast cancer (though I did book in to get it checked out ASAP!).
Although I will be in the middle of a chemo cycle in March, I know that exercise is essential for my recovery. This is why I am taking on the 58 Squat Challenge to raise vital funds for world-class breast cancer research.
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.
Or, if you want to help make a difference, please join my team too and commit to 58 squats a day!

Hi Rachel, I understand how challenging this time can be as I have had radiotherapy myself after a small carcinoma was removed. I am not in a good place financially right now but I guess every bit helps. I wish you all the best with your recovery. Wendy O’Hanlon www.stressstrainer.com.au
