The Long Run 2026

0%

I’m making prostate cancer history.

1st official day of The Long Run

8.73 km of walking at work and a 5.2km run at home. 
All worth i5 to raise some money to support those with or recovering from prostate cancer. 
If you can spare some change please support as it will more than likely affect a man you know. 

First run since surgery.

Had my first run today since the first surgery over 16 months ago. It was indoors on the Elliptical trainer but I’m so proud of the result. Was hoping to get to 5km, but pushed it to 10.4. I’m sure my body will remind me over the next few days, but finishing felt so good ( if I ignore my shaking legs). 

Help me support the men in your world.

Im participating in The LONG run because Prostate cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in Australian men, with an estimated 28,868 new cases and roughly 79 diagnoses made daily. Whilst rates increase sharply with age, most commonly affecting men over 50, with a median age of around 69 years at diagnosis, recent reports highlight rising early-onset diagnoses, including a notable increase in men in their 30s and 40s.
Money raised will most likely support someone you know. A friend, a husband, father, brother or son. 
If you can find some spare $ to donate to my fundraising please do. Let’s keep increasing the chances for early detection and survival. 
Thank you.

Just hit 50km

It’s true most of it’s walking, but that’s what I do all day. Whether it’s moving about the classroom teaching my awesome class, on the playground or on an office day. Some days are bigger than others. Tomorrow is an excursion through Sydney..I’m sure I’ll crank up some steps wandering through our beautiful city. 

I’m taking on The Long Run

This September for Prostate Cancer Awareness Month, I’m giving it all I’ve got by taking part in The Long Run.

Prostate cancer is Australia’s leading cause of cancer, with 79 men newly diagnosed every day.

Will you donate today to raise funds for Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia and help end the pain of prostate cancer? Together, we can make prostate cancer history.

Thank you. 💙🙏
