My target 200 kms
I’m taking part in Walk for Epilepsy around Australia because...
This year I’ve raised the bar!! Raising money for this awesome cause always means so much to me … but this year I’m reaching out to you like never before; as you will see by some of my story ; it’s been quite a difficult few months for myself and my family… . I need as many of you to help me reach my goal as possible; 200 km in 25 days!
I will post my Journey alongside some pictures of why research into this disorder is so important!!
I went 19 years with no active seizures… (still on meds) but suddenly they became very much active again and they weren’t working… and it threw my life into chaos… as much as I’ve tried to remain normal, my body hasn’t allowed that.
So follow me as I walk alongside many others for an amazing cause!! And help me and my family and others to live well and be given every opportunity to put Epilepsy into the shadows 💪🏽
Thank you ❤️

Goal reached !!
Thursday 24th Oct Yesterday I reached my goal !! 200 km in 23 days ! This was very exciting and hoping to see a few more km on the board yet ! Also hoping to catch a few more donations but overall this has been such a great journey for me . And I’m greatful for all that have been involved and those who have supported me even on the tough days ❤️ Share
It BEGINS!!!
Tuesday 1st Oct Today I felt good!! Even though I generally struggle in the morning these days , with weird legs that don’t function due to medication side effects I pushed those little legs and made it through to 9km and overcame some pain barriers along the way .
Action on the ground
Saturday 28th Sep The last few weeks have been busy on the training ground. As well as the inclement weather conditions here… I’ve been really enjoying getting back to feeling a little like my old self in some form, by moving my body how it’s used to moving. As well as this I’ve had a lot to be thankful about. my story made the Epilepsy Foundation Australia page ❤️ and I want to thank them again for all the support they have shown me now and in all the years when I have needed them. Even in the past when I worked with them as a volunteer, I absolutely loved it !
Monitoring begins
Tuesday 20th Aug So last week was a little different for me and quite outside my usual routine, as I had ECG/eeg and camera monitoring which required me to stay indoors and be watched the whole day for the whole week. I’m hopeful that this research will uncover a few things for me . It certainly was hard for me to stay as still as I was LOL so today I’ll be out for a short walk only then dance class… and will be continuing will my usual activities throughout the week and next week step up the km if I can . But we will see how the body feels !! I’m excited to be back out and my T-shirt will get here today I think ! Share
Slow but steady
Friday 9th Aug Today like every other day is slow , and I tend to watch others walk past me racing like they have a herd of elephants chasing them 🤣 but no, not me …. I know I have injuries and pain , and I have to be patient and keep my mental game up . Today felt good ! I listened to a “time to walk” podcast linked with my Apple Watch with Jamie Lee Curtis . These have been so helpful in motivating me to get through the hard moments .
One goal at a time 🙏
Wednesday 7th Aug Absolutely stoked and overwhelmed, and so grateful to see the support today when I came on and saw the donations and lovely words!! The power of support is an amazing motivation for me ! Thank you all so much I will get around to thanking you all individually 🫶🏽
The training begins!
Sunday 4th Aug Today I began some light training, and it was a beautiful day for a walk , so I did a 3.5 km walk and finished with some stretches and meditation.Thank you to my Sponsors
