I'm taking on Cancer Council's The Longest Day...

I’m taking on The Longest Day to raise funds and awareness for the Cancer Council — a cause that’s incredibly personal to me.

My biggest motivation is my dad, who has faced cancer with strength and courage. Seeing what he has gone through, and what so many others endure, has shown me just how deeply cancer affects not only individuals but entire families. This challenge is my way of showing support, giving back, and standing with those who have fought, are fighting, and will fight this disease.

It’s not just for my dad — it’s for every cancer patient, survivor, carer, and the families who’ve lost loved ones. I want to play a part in helping the Cancer Council continue their life-saving work — funding research, providing support services, and driving prevention and education.

Completing The Longest Day is a small sacrifice compared to the battles cancer patients face daily, but it’s a powerful way to make a difference. Every step, swing, and donation gets us closer to a cancer-free future.
