The Great 10K 👟💗

10,000 steps. 

Every day. All September. For Sydney Children’s Hospital.

 

I can walk. And for most of us, that’s something we barely think about.

This September, I’m taking on The Great 10K.

 

Walking 10,000 steps every day for 30 days to raise money for Sydney Children’s Hospital.

 

10,000 steps a day might be easy for some, but with a bad knee, it’s going to be a challenge for me. 😂

I’ve had the all-clear from my doctors, so I’m ready to give it my best shot and hopefully raise some money for some very special little people along the way. 💗

 

Not every child has the choice to simply get up, put their shoes on and go for a walk.

I don’t have children of my own, but I have nieces and nephews who mean the world to me.

I’ve seen the fear and sleepless nights that come when a child becomes seriously unwell through my brother, sister in law, aunts and my friends. And even now, when I’m sick, my mum still checks in on me with that same worry only a parent can have.

 

I think about that a lot.

 

Growing up, I remember running around playgrounds without a care in the world. We don't think twice about being able to run, play, laugh and how we were allowed to simply be kids.


So this September, as Sydney gets warmer and more beautiful, I’ll be walking for the children who can't.

 

Where your donation can help ❤️

100% of the money raised through my fundraising page goes directly to Sydney Children’s Hospital.

Your support can help provide vital medical care and equipment, fund research into better treatments, support families through incredibly difficult times, and give kids moments of comfort and joy through play, music and art while they're in hospital.

 

You’re not just donating to a walk. You’re helping give a sick child the care, support and childhood moments they deserve.

 

And you don't have to donate a huge amount.

$5, $10, $20. Whatever you can give.

 

If you can't donate, you can still help. Share this page. Send it to a friend or simply follow my challenge & cheer me on when I'm desperately trying to hit 10K at 9pm. 😂


So follow along 👟

I’ll be sharing updates throughout September.

The good, the bad, the tired, and the questionable step-count days. 😂

 

I’m incredibly fortunate to be able to walk.

So I’m going to use every one of those 10,000 steps a day to walk for the kids who can't.

 

The Great 10K.

30 days. 300,000 steps. One very important cause. 👟💗

 

Thank you all for coming along for the ride!

Thank you to my Supporters
