My 57 Squat Challenge for breast cancer research

57 Australians will be diagnosed with breast cancer today and a further 9 will lose their lives.

Some of you are probably aware of my breast cancer journey. One filled with ups and downs, surprises and the most challenging times I've endured. Despite all the obstacles, I've emerged stronger, more resilient and more determined than before. Today I'd like to share a part of this journey with you because it's not about me; it's about all of us.

Receiving a breast cancer diagnosis can shake you to the core. It's not a battle; it's an emotional rollercoaster that tests your inner strength and resilience. As I confronted this adversary head-on with tears and questions of "Why me?" I stumbled upon something extraordinary; the power of hope.

Hope was my guiding light during those moments. It fuelled my resolve to fight back to conquer and flourish.. Now I aim to pass on that hope. To be a source of inspiration for others who might be treading a path.

That's why I'm excited to announce the 57 Squat Challenge??a fundraiser for cancer research that's close to my heart (quite literally!). For every squat I do, funds raised will support research that's paving the way for new treatments, new therapies, and ultimately, new hope for those affected by cancer.

But I can't do it alone. I need your support, your encouragement, and your generosity. Whether it's through a donation, a kind word, or simply sharing this message (and my link in the comment below) within your circle of friends or followers every small gesture counts.

Thank you, you don't know how much this means to me. Together, let's turn a hopeless end into an endless hope.
