Six weeks to go

Sydney marathon 2025 will be my seventh marathon, Seventh Star, and final marathon.

To help motivate me to train through my chronic allergies to cold, dark and wet, I thought it would be good to come full circle. For my first marathon, New York in 2016, I fundraised for the Leukaemia Foundation, in memory of my dear Aunty Elizabeth.

So, for my last marathon, I will also be supporting the Leukaemia Foundation and the vital work they do supporting people with blood cancer.

I’ve taken a stand against blood cancer.

Today, more than 53 Australians will be told that they have blood cancer and tomorrow - another 53 families will be devastated by the same news.

I have created this page to raise vital funds to help provide the special care that is needed to get families through a blood cancer diagnosis as well as to help fund more game-changing research into this disease. 

The money I raise will help provide care for those in need right now — and it will back the brightest researchers to continue uncovering faster diagnoses and better treatments to save lives. 

Please show me your support by donating to my fundraising campaign.
