Final Day

Had a lovely walk today around Narrabeen Lagoon with my fantastic supportive Curves Ladies. Have done 125 kms in
this challenge. Totally blown away that I could do this.

24th May at the National Zoo

What a day. Had the best animal experience with Solo the Cheetah. Best Birthday present ever .Fantastic walk around the zoo today.

Day 8

Finally finished my 70 km. Feeling very happy but not finished yet - still more to do.

Day 5

Huge week. 51 kilometres done so far. Five gym sessions, two hours in the pool, 9 kilometres done , 9km walk around Narrabeen Lagoon and heaps of other small walks around the neighbourhood and the good old Bunnings walk. Bit sore.

Day 4

Only did 8 kms today. A bit stiff and sore from yesterday’s walk around Narrabeen Lagoon. Nearly at my updated target of 50kms - will have to up my target again.

Day 3

Just managed to walk the Narrabeen Lagoon Walk with Zoe from Curves. 9 kilometres. Very chuffed with myself.

Day2

Day 2 . Completed another 12 kms today and managed to get into a heated pool for a hydrotherapy session with my physio. A bit tired now. 

Day 1

Completed 12 kilometres yesterday. Can’t believe how much energy I have. I think I will need to increase the number of kilometres that I am going to walk.

Everyone thinks I’m mad doing this challenge

Well people don’t know we very well do they. I have know so many people who have had dementia diagnosed in their lives. I know the impact it has on the person and their families and friends. This disease needs to have a cure. That is why I accept the challenge. I am hoping I will be able to do more than the 43 kilometres.

I'm making the impossible, possible, by taking part in Australia's Walk & Jog Challenge to raise much needed funds for dementia research.

I’m taking part in Australia's Walk & Jog Challenge by committing to raise much needed funds to support people impacted by dementia.

But I need your help! Please make a donation to support my efforts and help me to make the impossible, possible.

My fundraising will help support the work of Dementia Australia Research Foundation, funding innovative Australian research into dementia causes, diagnosis, treatment and one day a cure.

Thank you for your support.
