And so it came to pass....

Sometimes we feel compelled to do something, an inner drive to help others, sitting back and doing nothing, for me, is not a viable option.

When someone close to you is suffering, this impelling feeling becomes overwhelming.

In October 2010 I will attempt to complete the Kokoda Trail, Papua New Guinea in aid of National Breast Cancer Foundation.

Please help me raise $5,000 for this charity. Together we can fund and find a cure for breast cancer.

My friend, this is for you. Because you're worth it!

National Breast Cancer Foundation

The ultimate goal of the National Breast Cancer Foundation is to raise enough money to fund a cure for breast cancer. As Australia's leading national not-for profit organisation established to fund all forms of research into the prevention and cure of breast cancer, we have a responsibility to ensure that the funds you work so hard to raise are used in the best possible way as we move towards making our goal a reality.

Over the past ten years National Breast Cancer Foundation research programs have built a reputation of prestige and excellence through their rigorous peer-review processes that consider the project's quality, feasibility and relevance to breast cancer.

The National Breast Cancer Foundation is unique in its research funding as it is the only community organisation that awards funds specifically for research across the continuum of breast cancer - from genetics to treatment, to support and palliative care. Funds raised are directed to the best research in Australia – we are neither limited by state boundaries nor institutional policies. We have no vested interest other than ensuring we progress knowledge about breast cancer.
