Heartbreak to Hope Walk 2025

Support my challenge for kids facing cancer.

Every month in Australia, 90 children are diagnosed with cancer. 

For those families, their lives are changed forever. Cancer puts families under enormous pressure. It can feel like it’s impossible to hold it together.

This May, I am taking part in the Heartbreak to Hope Walk to raise funds for Redkite to provide emotional, financial and practical support and care to families facing childhood cancer.

Please sponsor me by making a donation to support my walk. 

Together, we can show these children and their families that they don't have to face cancer alone and support them as they face the toughest time of their lives.

Thank you.

Go Team Ella, 12 days till I commence my fund raising walk to support families facing childhood cancer

Friday 18th Apr
Hello Family and friends

Well I do hope you will support me with my fund raising efforts for Red Kite who support families facing childhood cancer. I’m committed to walking each day in May but I need your help to reach my fund raising goal.

Today a big shout out to my dear friends, Brian and Maria Peck (whom have been in my life forever LOL) from Mornington Peninsula in Victoria. They shouted Rebecca and I lunch yesterday at a lovely Italian place, so nice to catch up in person after 12 months. And  today they were  very generous in providing Team Ella with a much needed donation. Thank you so much Brian and Maria, appreciate you supporting me in my quest to raise funds for Red Kite.

And also today, what a lovely surprise, a big shout out to a Facebook friend donation, I don’t know who you are,  but thank you very much. You donation will help a family supporting their child facing cancer. 

So family and friends, we have raised $350, can you help me raise $1,500.? Here’s hoping.

Many thanks to my sponsors to date, who have donated to Team Ella, let’s make life easier for families facing childhood cancer. I can’t do it without you.

13 days till I commence my Red Kite fundraising walk

Thursday 17th Apr
Hello family and friends, my Red Kite walk and fund raising commences in 13 days, I hope we can support families facing childhood cancer. I can’t imagine what it must be like being a child going through cancer treatment, nor a parent supporting your child during this difficult time. This is my annual fundraiser and I hope to hit you all up for a donation in May, small or large, it will make an impact on the lives of families facing childhood cancer.

Big shout out to my walking Camino buddy Susan Harwood for your most kind donation.

Hoping for no injuries during May.

Let’s go Team Ella.

Thank you to my Sponsors
