This September, I’m Going The Distance to help bring cancer care closer to home for regional Australians.

It’s almost that time of the year folks, when I get physical and raise money for Chris O’Brien Lifehouse, an amazing cancer hospital that I’m a patient of in Sydney.

Inspired by the Paris Olympics, I’m going to Go The Distance of 490km in September, via the means of Olympic distance events, to raise much needed funds for this hospital and its patients.

Why 490km? That’s the distance from Sydney to Port Macquarie, the distance that some people have to travel within New South Wales to access world class cancer treatment and care. Yes, that’s a long way from home for some. 

For my British cheer squad, that’s the equivalent distance of London to Scotland (Berwick-Upon-Tweed), 304 miles.

So with my nerdy coach we’re cooking up an Olympics extravaganza. It’s a bit of fun but for an amazing cause. Stay tuned for more updates. The challenge starts 1 September.

Donations to help others on their cancer journey and to fund ground breaking research can be made via the link in my bio.

So brace yourself for me making a total goose out of myself by going further, but not necessarily fast or gracefully!
