Big Walk for Little Kids 2026

Support my Big Walk for Little Kids

Every month, 64 Australian families are given the heart-breaking news that their child has cancer, sadly last year we were one of these families when my daughter who was 4 years old at the time was diagnosed with a Embryonal Rhabdomyosarcoma (a rare soft tissue tumor). After 15 months of intense treatment which included us going over seas for Proton Beam Radiation, she is now thankfully in remission. I am walking for her and all the kids to give them a break from cancer! 

This September during Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, I'm taking part in Big Walk for Little Kids to bring fun, positivity and laughter back into the lives of little kids facing cancer.

Every dollar I raise will fund Camp Quality's services and programs to help little kids who are dealing with their own diagnosis, or the diagnosis of a brother, sister, mum or dad.

Please support my BIG walk to give little kids and families the break from cancer they urgently need. As they say at Camp Quality "laughter is the best medicine", so please give generously so we can spread those smiles far and wide.

Thank you so much!

So far, I have helped provide...

25 kids supported through a scary medical procedure by a Child Life Therapist.

20 kids filled with laughter from their hospital bed during a playdate with our puppets.

6 families to take a break from cancer and reconnect at a 5-day Family Retreat.
