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!

Wednesday 26th FebSaw this and thought… what a great chance to raise money for an important cause and work on my own fitness (because let’s be honest, I could use the motivation).
68KM… that can’t be too hard, right? (Someone please lie to me and say it’s easy.) As long as I get moving every day, whether it’s a walk, a jog, or an awkward shuffle…I’m confident I’ll hit the goal.
Cancer. I don’t even know where to begin. It’s devastating. It breaks hearts, shatters lives, and has caused so much pain, not just in the world, but in my own life too. I’ve never had it myself, but when I found out a family member did, my world flipped upside down. I felt lost, terrified, and completely helpless. I know I’m not alone in that.
So, as I take on this journey, I want to share little pieces of my story, about understanding, processing, and most importantly, showing love. Because in the end, love and support are what truly carry us through.

Good luck, and may your feet never blister!
