This is the reason I am doing the walk and raising money
for this cause. For my children.
I have decided to do something massive for me and something I am passionate about, cancer. I have registered to take part in The Weekend to End Women’s Cancers benefiting the Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre on 28th February – 1st March 2015. It is a 2-day, 60-kilometre walk through the neighbourhoods of Melbourne. It’s going to be a challenge, but I’m ready to do something bold and powerful in an effort to end women’s cancers once and for all.
I went through my own personal journey with pre-cancerous cells in my cervix. This resulted in an operation and then a very long battle of trying to obtain good health once again. If it wasn’t for the regular tests to aid prevention of cervical cancer, it may not have been picked up as soon as it did which could have resulted in a much longer battle than what I had endured.
My grandmother was diagnosed with cervical cancer many years ago and had to undergo rigorous treatment, which ended up saving her life. She is now 88 years young and we are forever grateful that she is still with us today.
There have been many, many other family and friends that have been affected by cancer throughout my lifetime, young and old, and now I will do what I can to participate in the fight against cancer.
My commitment is based on love for my fellow sisters, mothers, grandmas, daughters, nieces, and friends everywhere. It’s based on the realisation that we each need to do our part in this fight. I can walk. I can raise funds to benefit Peter Mac and their efforts to end women’s cancers. I can and choose to be a part of this movement to take down women’s cancers!
I ask you to take a stance with me and join this life-saving adventure for all women. Be a part of my very personal journey – by giving, by walking with me, or simply by sharing my story with your circle of influence. Don’t stand back and think about what you could have done – take that first step today! Take a chance with me – we have the opportunity to change thousands of lives, beginning with our own.
This isn’t just my journey – it’s yours, too.
One Weekend can change the world.
The name of our Team is “Be the Change”. The idea is that YOU can Be the Change in the world that you want to see and live in, and every aspect of your life. Do something today and Be the Change that you have always wanted to see.
