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

As many of you know, I’ve been through my own battle with cancer, and it’s something that has given me a whole new perspective on life and the challenges that so many people and families face every day.

This year, I’m taking part in the World’s Longest Golf Day at Canowindra Golf Club, with the aim of raising money and awareness for those who are currently going through their own cancer journey.

For me, this day is about more than just raising money. It’s about bringing people together, getting outdoors, having a laugh and, most importantly, creating an opportunity for people to have a chat.

Having been through cancer myself, I know firsthand that the battle isn’t just physical. The mental side of it can be just as challenging, not only for the person going through treatment but also for their family, friends and loved ones.

If this day can raise some much-needed funds, bring a few mates together and encourage even one person to open up about what they’re going through, then I reckon it’s a day well spent.

A bit of golf, a few good mates, some good conversations and all for a great cause.

Every little bit of support makes a difference, and I’m looking forward to getting out there and giving it a crack!
