Inspired by Laura 30/12/1984-14/08/2024
Something good must come of Laura leaving us too early. Last year I went from zero to Big Swim finisher, a feat that seemed so impossible and daunting it was tough and go whether I even started. I'm proving to myself if wasn't a fluke and preparing for less than perfect conditions. Laura underwent mastectomies, reconstructions, chemo, radiation, lung drainage, the works. As soon as treatment was over she was back, trying to work, parent, lift a weight bar at the gym. Her legacy is this: don't tell yourself you can't before you even try. I'm raising money in her memory again, because no one deserves to go through what she did. Rest in peace.
I'm supporting cancer research and the health of people in Australia
Roughly 1 in 2 of us will receive a cancer diagnosis in our lifetime. This is a statistic that we need to change.
So, I've decided to take on a personal challenge with the support of CanToo, to raise funds along the way that could be life-changing. From supporting the ongoing health promotion work CanToo provides, to funding incredible, innovative early-career cancer researchers.
We desperately need to find more solutions to cancer, from prevention, to treatment, and ultimately a cure. Please support me on my journey with CanToo by donating to my fundraising page today!
Thank you for your support!
