What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, right?!
Story
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, right?!
That is the lesson in life I learnt the hard way after hearing the words "Young Lady, we need to talk. You have cancer" (October, 2010). Cancer changes your life. But I am fortunate that cancer gave me a choice to use my experience to push myself to achieve goals in life that I may not of strived for before. Cancer has made me more driven and determined than ever before.
It is with this in mind that despite the best intentioned advice from countless friends and family members advising that the Kokoda Trail may in fact get the better of me, I am throwing caution to the wind. Marking my 2 year anniversary (November, 2012) being cancer free I will be pushing myself to the limit to raise funds and awareness for a cause that is close to my heart (Cure Cancer).
For those that know me well will understand that it is a close tie on what will be the biggest challenge - the grade 5/5 challenge or roughing it camping. I had sore legs for over a week after walking down Table Mountain and my idea of a holiday is a 5 Star Resort. But I am focused and determined to get fit and take on my next life changing challenge.
I had an amazing support network (family, friends, workplace and test cricket) that supported me during my battle with cancer, and I am now calling on everyone to get behind me and cheer me on as I tackle Kokoda.
Thank you in advance for your support (and donations) :)
