100km. One Month. One Mission.

This year I’m lacing up again for The March Charge, my fourth year in a row  with a personal goal of reaching 100 kilometres across the month.

For those who aren’t familiar, The March Charge is a month-long fitness challenge that raises funds for world-class cancer research. This year marks 10 years of Australians getting active, moving their bodies and raising millions to support people impacted by cancer. I’m really proud to keep being part of something that creates such genuine impact.

The “big C” has affected my life in more ways than I can count and taking part each year has become my way of turning that into something positive, raising awareness, supporting progress and hoping for a future where fewer families have to experience the heartbreak and struggle that cancer can bring.

Most people who know me also know I’m a huge advocate for breast cancer awareness and those all-important monthly self-checks (yes, check those ta-tas!). March just gives me that extra push to get my feet hitting the ground with even more purpose.

An estimated 169,000 Australians will hear the words “you have cancer” this year. If moving my body and fundraising can play even the smallest part in changing that story, it’s worth every kilometre.

If you’re in a position to support, I’d be incredibly grateful. Every dollar raised goes toward Cancer Council’s research, prevention programs and support services for individuals and families navigating cancer.

Together, we really can tell cancer where to go.
Feel the Charge ... and thank you for being part of the journey with me.
