Five Peaks Virtual Challenge

I'm taking Canteen's Five Peaks Virtual Challenge this March!!!

Hi im Jess, im a year 11 student and I'm taking on the month-long 5 Peaks Virtual challenge to cover 68km over the span of 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, which is just absolutely devastating... 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 have to face it alone. That’s why I’m going to be challenging myself to complete this challenge whilst fundraising for teens facing cancer and supporting the friends and family.

Please sponsor me today and make every km count! All funds raised will go towards helping 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 and I'm excited for the journey!
