Can Too Beyond

SDU2022 - Go Big or Don't Go!

As many of you are aware I was meant to run the 50km at SDU2021.  Sadly we lost my dad the weekend before we were meant to leave. We were fortunate enough to be able to defer our entries to 2022. I originally thought I would do the 50km like I was meant to do in 2021, but decided what the hell, let's do this, so 100km it is!  Dad this one is for you!

Once again as part of my challenge I have decided to raise money again with Can Too for cancer research.  Cancer is very close to my heart as have lost multiple family to this horrible disease.  We were fortunate enough that when my dad was diagnosed with cancer he was part of a treatment trial and he went from 3-6 months to live to remission. We were very fortunate to get some precious more time with him.  And he was still in remission on his final day thanks to cancer research.

For those that donated to my SDU2021 50km challenge, thank you!  You are amazing!  Your donations will help me drag myself up sand dune after sand dune after sane dune! It may be a year later but I will be out there running for your donations in 2022.

For those who will be donating to my SDU2022 100km challenge, thank you!  You are amazing too!  Your donations will help me pick up my feet as I run across the never ending gibbers.

I am very fortunate to have some great coaches behind me and many friends to help me clock the training kms, but most of all I am very fortunate to have my wonder husband Mark beside me every step of the way, well ok maybe not every step but he is doing the 25km at SDU.

So stay tuned and let's see what this crazy challenge brings!

Simpson Desert Ultra

What a weird year 2020 turned out to be, definitely not something that any of us have been through before.  So now hopefully things are getting back to some type of normal, it's time to bring on the next challenge

Simpson Desert Ultra 50km the 5-6 June 2021!

So excited to be getting back out to Birdsville and exploring more of the amazing Simpson Desert.  The event is bringing people together from all over Australia to take part in one of 4 distances, 25km, 50km, 75km or 100km.  

And once again as part of my next crazy challenge I am raising money for Cancer Research so hopefully one day soon hearing the words 'you have cancer' is not a huge life changing event.  So think about me while I am out there climbing those sand dunes and if you can think about making a donation, as you never know, your donation could be the next break through in beating cancer once and for all!

Thank you to my Sponsors
