2026 Half Marathon

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!

I'm doing my first half marathon - For Mum!

Wednesday 21st Jan

I’ve signed up for my first half marathon in May! Why? Good question. Still not sure. But I am sure about the cause: I’m raising funds for CanToo, a charity I’m lucky enough to work for, which supports cancer research and trains people like me to do things we never thought we could.

My mum passed away from pancreatic cancer late last year, and this run is for her, for the researchers working tirelessly, and for everyone affected by cancer.

If you can chip in and cheer me on — thank you. Every dollar makes a difference!

Thank you to everyone who has made a donation towards my goal
