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!

Why I’m doing this.

Thursday 13th Mar
I never met my mum’s mum. She died when my mum was 23 of breast cancer. I never even asked as a kid how this impacted my mum. Then I lost my dad’s mum to lung cancer when I was 23 and I saw the impact it had on my dad. 

My brother in law had his life cut far too short due to brain cancer, and I know the impact it can have on families, but also the person going through the diagnosis and treatment. 

That’s why I’ve decided this challenge should be hard. Sure, I could ride 68ks, but that’s easy. My goal is to do it on a unicycle. Let’s see how hard THAT is. 

Thank you to my Sponsors
