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.
Just over 10 years ago, I began to face the mountain that is living with cancer, and all the grief, isolation and struggles that come with it, when my dad was diagnosed with cancer in 2013, unfortunately surviving for only 13 months before he passed. Then, just over 3 years after dad’s passing, in 2017, I received my own cancer diagnosis of an incurable brain tumour.
It was then that I was introduced to Canteen. Canteen provided me with so much support, so many resources, and the opportunity to connect with other young people who were going through similar experiences. Canteen came into my life at a time when I really, really needed it. I had no idea how to cope with cancer being in my life in the way that it was, and Canteen gave me so much hope and direction at a time when I felt completely lost and hopeless.
Even though I am no longer a member of Canteen now, I will always be grateful to this organisation for everything they have done for me. Today, I am still in touch with some of the beautiful people I met through Canteen, and I have learned so many strategies and coping skills that I still carry with me today, especially as I continue to deal with my own ongoing condition.
That’s why I decided to challenge myself and raise some money for this great cause. With your help, I hope to raise $1,000 (or more if we can!) so that we can help other young people facing cancer to receive the support and community that I was so lucky to experience, and to know that they’re not alone and there is hope during such a difficult and isolating time.
Thanks so much for your support. Let’s make every kilometre count!
