Support my efforts in the 2026 Mother's Day Classic Half Marathon!

On Sunday 10 May, I'm putting my foot down to save lives.

I’m joining the Mother’s Day Classic to help raise funds and awareness to fight breast and ovarian cancers and this year I’m running the Half Marathon in Melbourne! 

Tragically, every day in Australia 63 people diagnosed and 12 lose their lives to breast or ovarian cancer.

I’m asking you to do more than just stand with me but to support me as I walk, run, and move till we’re done.

The only reason my mum is still here today is thanks to donations that help fund life changing research.  Sadly we have had to use too many avenues to treat mums breast cancer and we are so lucky they have been available to us. With mums diagnosis of metastatic breast cancer there is no cure and she has been told she needs to be on treatment for the rest of her life.  Imagine a world where she didn’t need an infusion every 3 weeks which causes her to feel tired, short of breath and reduces her immunity. With your donations and support there could be a chance that her diagnosis would not be terminal, or perhaps research into the ability to change the way the treatment is delivered. 

Please make a donation today to support my challenge. There’s only one way to stop breast and ovarian cancers - together!

Thank you for your support.
