Support my Move Your Butt challenge

This February, I’m busting my butt — literally — taking on Move Your Butt for Bowel Cancer, walking and running 100km for Bowel Cancer New Zealand 🍑🧡

I’ve been an oncology nurse for 11 years, and I’ve seen firsthand how bowel cancer turns lives upside down. It’s confronting, it’s common, and far too often it’s caught too late.

The stats are grim: around 100 Kiwis die from bowel cancer every month. Early detection saves lives — and so does proper support.

Every dollar raised helps fund essential patient services like counselling, physiotherapy, and financial assistance, as well as research to stop bowel cancer taking the people we love. These are the services I see patients rely on every day.

So yes — I’m running, walking, sweating, and shamelessly talking about butts for a very good cause 😅

If you can donate or share, I’d be incredibly grateful. No amount is too small.

👉 Donate, spread the word, and check your butt.

Thank you for supporting this very cheeky but very serious cause 🧡🍑
