Cancer's 'March Charge' - 2025

Robyn and Michelle passed away early last year. Pamella and Gwen are fighting hard to beat the odds with the cancer they both have.

Thanks to the flood, this view over the previous 2 days, was just one lake of water.

Day 30 - only 6 km walked for a number of reasons. On my return I read this story of why a Mother was walking for her daughter. Heart breaking.

Day 31 and 16 km to reach my goal. I woke early and discovered I had reached my $2000 goal in donations. This was the impetus to get walking along the coastline  from Main Beach to Burleigh Heads. After some wet days, it was lovely to set off in sunshine and in the company [for 5 km] of Rachel, McGinty, Peggoty and baby Bobbity. 

The temperature had been 31C the previous day, so I welcomed the temperature drop of several degrees. Setting off at 6.30 am also helped. The coastline is still recovering from Cyclone Alfred. It wasn't possible to access the beach for a good 8 km because the erosion created high cliffs, that are now fenced off.

Looking back to my starting point.

I am so very grateful for all the support of both monetary and encouragement value. I only raised half of last year's total, but every dollar counts. Physically it wasn't as easy as last year, but I am now back into my early morning routine, which had lagged throughout summer.

17,531 paricipants from all over Australia.

$2,584,486 raised.

I've just spotted that in regard to these numbers, my distance ranking is 376th and fundraising total 126th.

I am feeling very gratified with my March Charge.

My apologies for not replying to all your lovely comments on my previous two posts. I do love reading them. Hopefully life will become a little less hectic now that the charge is over. 

Alas, I can't remove the big gap down to where you comment!

I would love to read your commnent.
