I'm taking on The March Charge...

For the next month, I’m taking on a fitness challenge that means far more than just kilometres on a tracker. I’m doing this to honour the people whose lives have been shaken, changed, or cut short by cancer — and to stand with the families who carry that pain every single day.

This year marks 10 years of The March Charge, a decade of Australians moving with purpose and raising millions to support those impacted by this devastating disease. I’m proud to be part of this movement, not just to get active, but to help shine a light on the reality of cancer and the urgent need for better support, better prevention, and better outcomes.

An estimated 169,000 Australians will hear the words “you have cancer” this year. Behind every number is a story — a parent, a child, a partner, a friend. Too many lives are changed forever. Too many families are left grieving. I’m charging forward for them.

Your support can make a real difference. Every kilometre I complete and every dollar raised helps fund Cancer Council’s life?saving research, vital prevention programs, and compassionate support services for people navigating the hardest moments of their lives.

If you’re able, please sponsor me today. Help me turn every step into hope, every kilometre into change, and every donation into a reminder that no one faces cancer alone.

Together, we can push back. We can honour those we’ve lost, support those fighting, and protect those we love. Let’s Charge for Change and show cancer exactly where it belongs.
