💜 78km for Zenny 💜
This September, I’m taking on the Pancreatic Cancer Challenge and walking 78 kilometres in memory of my beautiful father-in-law, Zenny.
We sadly said goodbye to Zenny on 9 October 2025, after he fought so hard and went through so much treatment. As we come up to a year without him earthside, I wanted to do something to honour his memory and the man he was.
Zenny was a funny bugger. 😂 He loved his sneaky fatty takeaway — the kind he’d have to hide so he wouldn’t get caught! He loved collecting coins, checking the numbers on notes and coins, and could never resist an op shop or garage sale.
And if you knew Zenny, you probably knew the smell of Joop before you even saw him. 😂❤️
These are the little things I miss. The funny things. The things that made him him. The memories that make us laugh even while our hearts hurt.
So, this September, every kilometre I walk will be for Zenny. For the memories, the laughs, the love, and for the man we were nowhere near ready to say goodbye to.
78km for Zenny. 💜
Gone from our sight, but never from our hearts.
Until we meet again, Zenny. ❤️🕊️
This September, I'm walking 78km for the 78 Australians who die from pancreatic cancer each week.
Pancreatic cancer is one of the toughest common cancer, and because early-stage pancreatic cancer rarely causes symptoms, the survival rates are devastating.
Right now, 12 Australians are diagnosed with pancreatic cancer every day. It is the 3rd biggest cancer killer in Australia.
But research can change this. Your support will fund groundbreaking pancreatic cancer research and improve survival rates.
So this September, I'm challenging myself to get up, get moving and walk 78km to fight this terrible disease.
Please make a donation to support me, and together...
We will remember them. We will honour them. We will fight for them.
My Memory Wall for my loved one, Zenny

Day 2
Thursday 3rd Sep 💜 DAY 2 DONE — 15KM DOWN! 💜 Two days into the 78km Pancreatic Cancer Challenge and I can definitely say my hips know about it already 😂 Only 63km to go… but who’s counting?! 😅 Yesterday, while dragging myself up a hill with aching hips, I may have had a few quiet words with Zenny along the lines of “Thanks Zenny… this is all your fault!” 😂💜 I know he would have appreciated the humour — and probably had a good laugh at me struggling my way up that hill. But sore hips and all, I kept going. Because every kilometre is for a reason, and this cause is incredibly close to my heart. Something that makes it even more special is that while my kids — both the adults and the younger ones — aren't officially doing the challenge, they're clocking up their own kilometres along the way too, in honour of their Poppy. 💜 That means more to me than I can put into words. And a huge THANK YOU to everyone who has sponsored me so far. Every single donation genuinely means so much to me and my family. Knowing there are people supporting me and supporting a cause that became so personal to us gives me that extra little push to keep putting one foot in front of the other. 15km down. 63km to go. 💪💜 For Zenny. For Poppy. And for every family affected by pancreatic cancer. 💜 ShareThank you to my Sponsors

Zenny ❤️ A funny bugger with a heart of gold. We’ll always remember your sneaky takeaway treats, your love of coin collecting and checking those numbers, your op-shop and garage-sale adventures, and of course, that unmistakable Joop cologne. You were one of a kind, Zenny. Forever loved, forever missed, and never forgotten. ❤️
