WHY I'M DOING IT
I’m 12 months into living my life with Stage 4 metastatic cancer. I am so grateful for the support and love that I have received from my family and friends this year.
Each day in February I'm hitting the water in Patonga for SurFebruary and raising funds for cancer research at Chris O'Brien Lifehouse. I’m hoping to raise above $5000!
The reality is that one in two of us will be affected by cancer in our lifetime. That’s a pretty big statistic. The good news is that we can make a tangible impact on how we treat cancer by contributing to innovative cancer research that benefits us all.
It only takes a minute to donate and anything you can will go a long way to helping people with cancer and their families.
Thank you, I really appreciate your support.
See you in the water!
