Support my Move Your Butt challenge

This February, I’m joining the Move Your Butt for Bowel Cancer challenge, walking 100km over the month to raise funds for people facing this disease.

I’ve held the hands of friends and families as they’ve walked the final stages of life with bowel cancer. I’ve witnessed the fear, the uncertainty, the exhaustion — and the profound need for support that goes beyond medical care. Every step I take this February is for those moments, for those people, and for those still fighting.

Every month, 100 Kiwis lose their lives to bowel cancer. That’s 100 families left navigating grief, shock, and loss — and it’s why we need to do more.

The money we raise together provides vital services for patients and their whānau: counselling, physiotherapy, financial support, and other lifelines that help people stay grounded, cared for, and supported through such a harrowing journey. And it funds research to stop this disease from taking those we love.

I’d be so grateful for your support. Every donation, big or small - makes a real difference to someone’s life when it matters most. Together, we can walk this path with them, lighten the load, and offer care when it’s needed most.

Thank you for helping me turn my steps into support and hope. 🧡
