Fundraiser: Marisa

This June, for my birthday month, I’m raising money for Something To Look Forward To — a charity that has made a real difference to my life since my Stage 4 Breast Cancer diagnosis.

The charity gifted Greg and me a much-needed break when life felt overwhelming, and more recently provided me with a year’s PureGym membership. To make the most of this gift, I’m challenging myself to complete three strength-training sessions every week throughout June.

While fatigue, joint pain and treatment side effects can make exercise difficult, strength training is an important part of supporting my health and improving my quality of life. I’m grateful to still be stable on my first-line treatment after 18 cycles, and although life feels more normal than it did in those early days, cancer is never far from my thoughts.

This challenge is about building strength, creating healthy habits and giving back to a charity that brings moments of joy, hope and respite to people living with cancer.

If you’d like to support me and help Something To Look Forward To continue its incredible work, I’d be so grateful for your donation.

Thank you for helping me turn my birthday month into an opportunity to give back.
