The Weekend to End Women’s Cancers – Help Me Fundraise

I’m writing today for your help…and I have a little bit of encouragement to help you help me!!!

Recently I have signed up to participate in the Weekend to End Women’s Cancers 2015, a walk that takes part over two days over 60km. Yep – 60km!! Eeeek! I will join all the other participants in a walk around Perth, camping overnight on the Saturday to be ready to start bright and early the next morning.

What’s the weekend for?

It’s a walk to remember those lives we have lost to breast or gynaecological cancer and a Weekend to celebrate the lives we are saving. Proceeds from The Weekend will enable Harry Perkins Institute of Medical Research to advance its groundbreaking cancer research. Harry Perkins Institute will be able to fund innovative new research projects, looking for the genetic clues to help prevent and treat cancers such as breast and ovarian cancer.

Sounds amazing…

Why am I walking?

Well one of my lovely friends asked me to join her, as her team member is no longer able to take part. So I’ve gladly stepped in so we can complete the walk together!

My motivation for agreeing to the walk is to show support for anyone going through treatment for cancer as well as all survivors. Cancer (in various forms) is something that has impacted my life greatly, so anything I can do to help raise money or awareness is really important to me.

It’s also in the hope that raising funds for the Institute will mean my daughters will never have to worry about having to go through cancer treatment.

Walking 60km is well worth that. It’s the least I can do really!

How can you help me?

All participants have to raise $2,000 to be able to take part- so I’m madly trying to raise the funds before the 28th March so I can meet the minimum!

So please help me fundraise for this awesome cause and make my walk truly worthwhile!
