Five Peaks Virtual Challenge

I'm taking Canteen's Five Peaks Virtual Challenge...

…a month-long challenge to cover 68km in March - the combined trail distance of Australia’s five highest peaks.

Every year, 23,000 young Australians face the mountain that is a cancer journey. Whether facing their own cancer diagnosis, or dealing with a loved one’s cancer journey, climbing that peak means feeling isolated, lost, exhausted, and confused.

It’s terrifying, and no one should face it alone. That’s why I’m challenging myself and I need your support!

Please sponsor me today and make every km count! All funds raised will help young people, facing their hardest climb, get free access to Canteen’s cancer counselling, peer support and specialised in-hospital care.

Thank you for your support!

It’s been high and lows! Last week was a low, didn’t manage a single ride or walk till Sunday. The hormone blocking meds seemed to intensify the hot flushes, wasn’t sleeping well, and work was busy with swimming with the little kiddies! Also think my iron levels crashed…. But this week I’ve picked myself back up and hurtling to the finish line! The generosity and kindness and support I have felt has certainly helped me along the way!

First ride of the month

I was so grateful to find Canteen, and the service they have for kids who have to deal with cancer with for themselves or in their family. Their service and support was invaluable to me as I worked out how to support my kids through my cancer diagnosis. This is my way yo pay it forward. Thanks so much for supporting me! 🩷
