"My reason is my sister Mel. My inspiration. Who was diagnosed with Stage 4 metastatic bowel cancer at age 35. Mel was given 18 months, for which she battled with all she had, but lost her battle after 17months on the 18th of March 2024. She was strong. Throughout her journey she had so much passion for raising awareness for bowel cancer and #Never2Young to try make sure no one else would have to go through this. Listen to your body and fight for your health! You're never to young. We raised over $3000 for Bowel Cancer Australia through the HBF Run For A Reason, top of the ladder, in honour of my beautiful sister Melissa who is now flying high like a butterfly." ~ Emma.
