Made it all the way!

Hi everyone,

Some of you may have been aware of my challenge to raise money for the Cancer Council - The Ultimate Journey for a Cure. Trekking to the Base Camp of Mt Everest.

Just a quick update to say I made it all the way alongside my wonderful hubby. In the end it has been an even more challenging journey as the leader of our trek, a breast cancer survivor herself, is once again facing a battle with cancer.

The trek has been a two year challenge due to the earthquake in Nepal last year. Altogether we have so far raised around $30,000 with money still being donated.

So, 3 years after being diagnosed (13-05-2013) with Stage 3 Breast Cancer I am so amazed that I have been able to achieve this goal.

Will update with photos when we get back to Australia. Sending hugs to all who need one today. You will get through this and life can be good again. You just need to take it one step at a time.
