August Update!

Hello friends,

I hope you're keeping fit and well, especially over these colder months! I'm checking in, as it's been a while since I've given you an update.

August is a special month to me for many reasons. 

Firstly, it's the month of Tynan's birthday. Last week he turned 20. 

While we all tried to give him the best presents we could - and I'll note I did get him a nice pair of ugg boots! - it was hard to compete with the early present he got from his healthcare team...

I'm pleased to say Tynan is in remission and doing very well! It's been wonderful to see his energy coming back, after such a tremendous fight.

I'd like to thank you all very much for your kind messages and generous donations you've made so far. It's been a great source of comfort, to know we've been in your thoughts. Words cannot convey how grateful I am for your support.

It's been astonishing to see we have collectively raised over $4000 together, and we've still got a few months left!

While I'm ecstatic my wish has been granted - Tynan cancer free by 2023 - there are still many Australian's fighting.

August is also a special month to me because Daffodil Day is on the 25th.

Daffodil Day is an opportunity for our community to come together, lean on each other, and raise much needed funds for cancer research.

Through you kind actions, such as buying a daffodil or sharing this fundraiser with your social networks, you're touching lives of people you may never meet, and supporting them through a truly difficult period of their life.

I hope you will join me in sharing this fundraiser with your community, so that we're one step closer to finding a cure.

Wishing you and your loved ones' a safe and happy rest of 2022.

I’m fundraising for Cancer Council Victoria to help stop cancer.

Every year more than 35,000 Victorians hear the words ‘you have cancer’.

This year my 19-year-old brother Tynan was one of those 35,000. 

It’s devastating to learn someone you love has been diagnosed with cancer, especially someone so young. 

While you and I cannot personally cure my brother, we can raise money to fund life-saving cancer treatments, prevention programs and support services to ensure no one has to face cancer alone. 

I’m embarking on a challenge to run 2022km and raise $20,022 in 2022. 

For context, that’s like running from Adelaide to Brisbane. 

Or Melbourne to Sydney and back, and doing a victory lap to Albury/Wodonga. 

The number 22 is a special symbol in this campaign. It’s a symbol of hope for the future.

It’s my ardent wish that my brother, and many others, are cancer free by 2023. 

I’ll be giving regular updates on my social media and on this fundraising page. As you donate, please feel free to leave messages of love and support.

Thank you for your kind spirit and generosity as we fight this together.

I hope my brother and I see you at the virtual finish line!

Note: funds are used to support programs including, but not restricted to, the ones described here.
