I'm living fearlessly this September. Will you support me?
I’m taking on the Live Fearless Challenge this September to raise awareness and funds for the almost 180,000 Australians living with Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis.
IBD is one of the most misunderstood chronic health conditions. Yet people living with Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis are ‘frequent flyers’ of the hospital system. It strips away income, disrupts education, work, relationships and travel, and can have a significant impact on both physical and mental health.
That’s why I’m getting active this September and aiming to complete 240km. Every kilometre is for the thousands of people living with IBD who face this in silence.
Consider supporting me as I take on the LFC! Your donation will help fund research, patient support, education and advocacy - because no one should have to manage this disease on their own.

Day 26
10km… I’m exhausted
Day 24 - Dedicated to Sal
Today’s walk is dedicated to our dear friend Sally who lived fearlessly but sadly lost her cancer battle last night. I began my walk and it was freezing and windy… I really didn’t want to go but I decided I would dedicate my walk to Sal. I decided to listen to Ivys playlist. As I was walking the song “Sally, when the wine runs out” started playing. When the song finished my AirPods stopped working (they were on 90% so they shouldn’t have) and the wind suddenly stopped. The rest of my walk was still and without music and very emotional. I walked my longest distance! Rest Peacefully dear Sally xx

Took Ted down the beach for some fresh air and an attempts at some steps. Had to have lots of breaks but managed to walk about 2km. Teddy was very pleased to get out of the house after being stuck inside for a week!
