2026 May Facebook Challenge

100km in May Challenge

This May, during Brain Cancer Awareness Month, I'm taking part in the 100km in May Challenge for brain cancer research. 

In Australia, 1,639 people die from brain cancer every year. And the statistics that we relied on so heavily on when Ivan was still with us, have barely improved since. 

I am doing this in Ivan's memory to raise funds for Cure Brain Cancer Foundation to support life-saving research to increase brain cancer survival rates and improve the quality of life for those impacted by this disease.

It would mean so much if you'd make a donation to support my challenge today - THANK YOU!

4 weeks done - 4 days to go!!!

Thursday 28th May
228km completed with 4 days left to go!!! Thank you to everyone for your donations and beautiful messages. I appreciate everyone's love and support so much. I have exceeded both the km and the fundraising goals, but it would be great to do a little more in the days I have left!!! 🥰🩶

Just past halfway....

Monday 18th May
through May and I'm 50km OVER my goal and just passed my fundraising target!!! 

I could just stop now, but we all know that's not my style. 

Ivan's battle might be over but that doesn't mean that we don't continue to fight for those struggling and suffering. He would want us to to help those still affected to find a cure and have a better outcome than he did. 

So I will be doubling my KM goal, and if possible, my fundraising target as well. 

Any donation, no matter how small is greatly appreciated. 

Team KissMyAstrocytoma forever 💜

This is the first time I've done a 100km challenge in 10 years!!! The last time I did was with Ivan. At the time his brain cancer was still Stage 2, he'd had surgery and radiation and re-learned to walk and talk, and was having seizures multiple times a week. 

He passed away in 2019 aged 38 from GBM after a 6.5 year fight.

I'm definitely not as fit as I was back the, but so happy to raise much needed funds and awareness again xx
