Cancer Crusade: Funding the Fight!

By Amanda Tran

DAILY 10K STEPS & GRATITUDE!

I am aiming to hit 10,000 steps a day as part of my contribution to this great cause. 

A personal challenge and goal that I've also set for myself is to finish the day with GRATITUDE. We are all human and often we get so caught up in our own struggles/battles/stress, we forget that we are all in it together in one way or another. Working in an oncology field has given me perspective. The patients I meet have inspired me with their stories and journey. Their strength and resilience is a daily reminder that we are only human and we can only do our best! Between balancing studies and shift work, I do find myself feeling tired and frustrated, and without thinking - steering into a negative mindset. Patients often comment on my 'fun scrubs' or my 'positive energy/vibes' and it makes all the difference to them. It's nothing big but it's those little things that brighten up their day, that make their stay in hospital a pleasant one. They express so much gratitude for the care I give and it really does humble me. I'm helping them in their cancer journey and they're helping me in my career. For that, I am grateful. 

Therefore, in the month of June, as part of this fundraiser, I will aim for 10k steps a day + daily gratitude!  Your support is much appreciated! :) 

ABOUT MY WHY:

As a cancer nurse, I meet people from all walks of life. I support patients in many different stages of their cancer journey - from newly diagnosed to end of life/comfort care. I am passionate about making a difference and spreading love! Although my work has its challenges and some days can be tough, it has humbled me and is quite rewarding. 

I would like to raise funds to help support people affected by cancer. I am doing this for my patients! Every dollar raised will go towards helping people whos lives have been impacted by cancer; this means funding world-class research, prevention and support services across Australia!

Please share the love and support for my patients and those affected by cancer. I'm sure we all know someone who knows someone who has been through or is going through this tough journey. Together, let's make a difference!
