I’m stepping forward for a stronger tomorrow.
How far would you go for cancer care?
In our region, nearly 100 patients walk through oncology and haematology clinics every single day. For half of them, the journey has already been a long one — travelling hours to Toowoomba just to access the care they need.Currently, a single visit can mean navigating four different departments. With a catchment area covering 300,000 square kilometres, our facilities are stretched to the limit.
That’s why I’m taking on Trek the Trail. I’m raising funds to help the Toowoomba Hospital Foundation and Darling Downs Health build a purpose-built Regional Cancer Centre. This facility will bring life-changing services under one roof, making treatment easier, faster, and closer to home.
The best part? Darling Downs Health has committed to match-funding up to $10 million — meaning your support goes twice as far. Thank you for stepping forward with me.

My Updates
In training
Sunday 9th Aug I want to be able to complete the day 2 distance of 29 kilometres so I walked down Jubilee trail and back up around the streets to The bridge street carport approx 15 kilometres. The uphill was tough but hopefully it will help in my preparation. It was nice to meet a fellow participant in Allie who was half way into 20k’s for the day when our paths crossed. Thanks to my supporters.Thank you to my Sponsors
