This September, I’m Going The Distance to help patients with cancer at Chris O'Brien Lifehouse.

Earlier this year my partner was diagnosed with Lymphoma. After months of gruelling chemotherapy and immunotherapy we were advised today he is in remission. We are so thankful for the care he received at COB LifeHouse during treatment and for their continued support during his ongoing recovery. 

Im going the distance by walking 100km during September which will be a stretch for me but achievable!  Andrew lost an incredible amount of weight through his illness and treatment.  Jokingly, I think I gained a sizeable portion of that so this will be good for me while Andrew also builds his strength back at the Living Room at COB LifeHouse.

With your support, every kilometre will count towards ensuring the very best cancer care is available to everyone in our community.

All donations will help Chris O’Brien Lifehouse continue to provide compassionate, research-driven cancer care, as well as holistic support services for people with cancer.

Every kilometre counts, can I count on you?

Distance goal achieved!

100km - yayyyyyyyy!

Almost to 100km

Wednesday 23rd Sep
Almost reached my distance goal, a little bit earlier than 30/9!  You might have noticed a few rest days crept in.  The old bones, ankle and knee slowed me down a bit not being used to backing up everyday with another 5km.  Overall, pretty happy that I have exceeded my fundraising goal and soon my distance goal.
I can’t thank everyone enough who has supported me and donated to this life-saving institution - thank you for GOING THE DISTANCE with me!
But if anyone is out there who has been meaning to donate, now is the time!

Sunday 20th Sep
Back on the treadmill, getting closer to the goal!  Thankfully (says my right ankle lol)

Friday 18th Sep
Another day, another 5km, but alas not another dollar! 😢

Thursday 17th Sep
Another day closer!

Halfway mark

Tuesday 15th Sep
Another 5km closer

Thank God for Aretha!

Monday 14th Sep
Mondays were never my favourite day of the week and it was a hard slog getting to 5km today - thanks to Aretha Franklin whose music motivated me to push through!

Sunday done!

Sunday 13th Sep
Another 5km done after a day in the garden. Onwards to 100km!

Day 12 I think

Saturday 12th Sep
Just over 5km today after a rest day on Friday.  Backing up day after day is not easy, well not for me, going from zero exercise to 5km everyday, day after day!  But we got there, another 5km closer to that 100km.  Tracking really well and fundraising has far exceeded my expectations - but keep it coming!  COB LifeHouse just celebrated surpassing $100,000 with the GO THE DISTANCE CAMPAIGN but they are still far short of their $300,000 target!  

Halfway to my distance goal!

Thursday 10th Sep
PB today of 6.39 km to take me over the halfway mark to 100km!

A Eurythmics kind of day

Wednesday 9th Sep
Eurythmics is always great to walk to especially at full volume! Getting closer to the halfway mark!

Day One Week 2

Tuesday 8th Sep
Another 5km as I approach the halfway mark to 100km.  I’m also incredibly pleased to report that donations raised so far have exceeded my target of $1000.  Effectively they were doubled by one donor who I am truly appreciative of - thank you Alan!  
I cannot thank everyone enough for your support, encouragement and belief.

One week done!

Monday 7th Sep
One week down, almost a third of the way to my walking goal and just passed my fundraising goal! Thank you to everyone so far for your donations and support! 

Five for Fathers Day

Sunday 6th Sep
Thinking of both our fathers taken by cancer as I go the distance today!

Saturday Success

Saturday 5th Sep
I’ve now engaged a new photographer ie Andrew to take pics of the treadmill km walked after a slip up on Thursday night trying to take them myself.  Going from 4.5km to 16km an hour in an instant is not recommended - thank god for the emergency stop!
After a day off on Friday, it was back going the distance today - 6.24km closer to the goal.

Day 3 done - when it cooled down!

Thursday 3rd Sep
One foot in front of the other! Go the distance!  It’s interesting how helpful a playlist can be for keeping you going by mixing up the pace- from RESPECT to Shania Twain to Puppies are Forever by SIA……..
Not sure if anyone is reading this but if you are thanks for reading and your support for COB LifeHouse GO THE DISTANCE!

Day 2

Wednesday 2nd Sep
Good morning everyone, Day 2 done.  Backing up after yesterday wasn’t easy I have to say.  For those of you who know me I’m not the fittest person and carry too much weight to be good for you.  But I pushed through the pain, thinking of what Andrew has endured during the last 9 months.  He has a long road ahead with the disease and treatment taking a huge toll on his body.  We’re both very grateful of the continued help he gets from COB LifeHouse as he continues to recover.  Many people think that when the treatment finishes and you get the news of remission that the fight is over.  In many ways the treatment part is the passive part and the long road to recovery is the active part, to get your strength back, to get more mobile, to start eating when nothing tastes the same, to start participating in life again etc.  I’m really proud of Andrew as he goes the distance!  
Anyway, hope you can support me as I go the distance over the next 28 days!

Day One done!

Tuesday 1st Sep
We’re off and running, actually walking!  5.1km down and only 94.9km to go before the end of September!
I’d love to get your support and remember all donations are tax deductible (always an accountant lol).
But more importantly COB LifeHouse got Andrew through his chemotherapy/immunotherapy and continue to support him through the Living Room.
Dig deep - I know I am!
