My target 86 kms

Day 1 - 86 kids. every month.

That’s how many Australian children are diagnosed with cancer. Not adults. Not statistics. Kids.There’s no warning. No obvious cause. Just families waking up to a nightmare that can last years.I’m taking on 86K for a Cure - one kilometre for every child diagnosed this month, because they don’t get a choice in their fight. Research is what saves lives. It’s what turns fear into survival. It’s what gives parents hope in the darkest moments. But it only happens because people step up. Right now, you can be part of that.If you’ve ever thought, “I should donate to something that matters” - this is it. PLEASE DONATE TODAY. Not next week. Not when you remember. Today. Because 86 more kids will be diagnosed THIS month. And they deserve better. 💛

Day 4 - Feeling the Support

Thursday 5th Mar
Day 4 of the challenge, 4th of March 2026, & 4 new donations came through today, which is amazing for the cause. But honestly, it also just makes me feel really supported and appreciated. It’s a nice feeling knowing people are getting behind this. (444 = divine encouragement to keep moving forward ✨ - Thank you 🙏🏼 ) Smashed out my kilometres tonight under a big full moon. The plovers were around again…we’re still mates, still no swooping 😅, so I’ll call that a win. More kilometres down, more support rolling in, and we keep moving closer to the goal. Really grateful for everyone backing this. 💛

Day 3 – Old Shirt, Same Mission 💛

Wednesday 4th Mar
Still waiting on the new challenge shirt, so the old faithful 86K tee made another appearance tonight. Trivia Tuesday it’s the crew so it was a late one out getting the steps in. Must say it’s a peaceful time to walk and think, & I’m pretty sure I’m in the good books with the local plovers, they haven’t swooped me yet 😅 86 kids will be diagnosed this month. 86 families navigating a road they never planned for. That’s the reason we keep moving, even when it’s dark, even when we’re tired. If you’ve been meaning to donate, this is your reminder. Every bit genuinely counts.

Day 2 - Gettin it done 💛

Wednesday 4th Mar
Four hours sleep last night and I definitely didn’t get my walk done this morning. Work all day, then straight into the final painting touches at the reno. By the time I checked the clock tonight, it was late… I should have done a third coat, but the kilometres needed to happen. So I “laced up”… except I didn’t. I wore sandals. Rookie error. Regretted that decision about 800 metres in, no turning back. Not glamorous. Not perfectly planned. Just making it work. Some days you’re energised. Other days you’re running on fumes in questionable footwear. But we keep stepping forward - because the kids we’re walking for don’t get to sit it out. Another few kilometres closer to 86. 💛

Day One - We’re Underway 💛

Monday 2nd Mar
Yesterday we officially kicked off 86K for a Cure as The Nectar Hummingbirds. One kilometre for every Australian child diagnosed with cancer each month. It’s a powerful number - 86 kids, every single month - and behind each one is a family whose world has been turned upside down. April may have come home with slightly more than just donations… a solid sunburn to match the kilometres she clocked yesterday ☀️🔥 Commitment level: high. Sunscreen application: questionable. Jokes aside, this challenge is about something far bigger than us. Every step helps fund research for safer, more effective treatments for kids facing cancer. We’re on the board. We’ve started strong. If you’ve been meaning to donate, now’s the time to jump in and help us build momentum from day one. 💛
