I’m taking on Cancer Council’s The Longest Day because cancer has personally affected my family. Both of my grandparents have had cancer, and I’ve seen how tough the treatment, surgeries and recovery can be. I wanted to do something I love to help raise money and awareness for people and families going through it.

So, I’ve decided to take on the ultimate golf challenge — 72 holes in one day.

For anyone who doesn’t play golf, 18 holes usually takes around four hours, so I’ll be trying to fit around 16 hours of golf into one day! I know it’s going to be a huge challenge, but I also know that it’s nothing compared to what people fighting cancer have to go through.

When I was just 8 years old, I played 54 holes of golf in one day to raise money for cancer. What I remember most was having people come up to me afterwards who had been affected by cancer and thanking me for what I had done. That really stayed with me and made me realise that even something I love doing can make a difference to someone else.

This year I wanted to push myself even further and take on 72 holes.

I’ve also designed a special Cancer Council polo for The Longest Day. The polo will be available through HM Golfs website www.hmgolf.com.au for $50, with 100% of the proceeds donated to Cancer Council.

My goal is to raise $10,000 but I’d love to go well beyond that.

Every donation, no matter how big or small, will help support cancer research and help give more people a chance to beat cancer.

72 holes. 16 hours. One big goal.

Thank you so much for supporting me and helping me take on The Longest Day. ❤️🏌️‍♂️
