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!

After all the whiskey and red wine we’ve drunk over the years, I can only assume this is your attempt at repentance. We're proud of your reasons for doing this though mate, and when you complete this walk, we can have a drink and celebrate your poorer life choices!

I would love to tell you that this will undo all the cheese, chocolate and alcohol you have consumed over the years but I’m not a liar, so I won’t say that. However, I can say it’s for a good cause so keep those knees up and strides long and make sure to look up every once and a while to enjoy this fucking long walk

I thought we didn’t have to fund Australia any more? ;) Good luck on the walk - make sure you keep your fluid intake up. Beer has water in it!
