Heartbreak to Hope Walk

My target 100 kms

Support my walk for kids facing cancer.

Every month in Australia, 88 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 June, 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.

My Heartache

Wednesday 5th Jun
Since the beginning of Covid lockdown I have had my fair share of loss, grief and resulting PTSD that has now blossomed into sudden and volatile mood changes. I am also finding out in my 40s that many of my problems can be attributed to my ADHD and some measure of Neurodivergence, which so far has not been formally diagnosed and therefore treated. I have always been a caring person and put the needs of others before my own, sometimes to my own detriment but the opportunity to change some of that and improve my life while continuing to help others in the process, seems like the best of both worlds. Many people I know doubt I can achieve this goal. 100kms through June and I am determined to show myself and any doubters that I absolutely can do this. I also know firsthand that sudden changes to the health of a loved one and the emotional, physical and financial toll that it places on families seeking treatment and support. This is me doing my part. Hopefully I can earn a few more sponsors along the way and boost my contribution. 

Thank you to my Sponsors
