Motivation

I’ll be walking more than 50,000 steps in one day! I know I’ll cross the finish line exhausted and sore, but that’s nothing compared to what people with mitochondrial disease (mito) go through every day of their lives.

Mito robs the body’s cells of energy, causing multiple organ dysfunction or failure. It can affect anyone at any age.

I’m grateful to all of our sponsors who are helping to fund research into desperately needed treatments and cures for this devastating disease.

Every dollar will make a difference!

My 35km walk will be bloody tough but, with your support, I know I can do it.

THANK YOU!

Training update

My daily distance and speed are increasing! Thank you to my sponsors for their generous support. 

15km warmup today!

Audrie and did the Herald Sun Walk for Kids this morning. Took about 3 hours. We did it! Not sure how we’ll add another 20km but support from family & friends will help. 

I'm Walking 35km to Cure Mito in The Bloody Long Walk!

I'm walking 35km in The Bloody Long Walk to help Australians living with mitochondrial disease.

That’s 46,200 steps in one day!

I know I’ll cross the finish line exhausted and blistered, but that’s nothing compared to what people with mitochondrial disease (mito) go through every day of their lives.

Mito robs the body’s cells of energy, causing multiple organ dysfunction or failure. It can affect anyone at any age.

Please sponsor my walk to fund research into desperately needed treatments and cures for this devastating disease.

Every dollar will make a difference!

My 35km walk will be bloody tough, but with your support, I know I can do it.

THANK YOU!

Do everything you can to avoid blisters! And line up a soak in the bath and a massage! I’ll be thinking of you both, and very pleased NOT to be doing it this time, as I have 9 hours of active teaching on the day afterwards!!
