About Me


A bit of background on myself. I'm Australian, from a town called Bendigo in Victoria, and I've been living in Vancouver for the past four years. I love this city, I'm passionate about being active and being in nature, and there aren't many places on Earth that rival the beauty of British Columbia. Growing up, I had the best possible childhood. The biggest thing my brother and I had to worry about was which game to play next, and my own worst terror was the dread of mum's tuna casserole - which I hated (and still do, sorry mum!). As I get older, I appreciate more and more how lucky I've been in my life, not having to face any hardships, and I understand this isn't the case for many others. When I found out about this climb and what Summits of Hope is all about, it struck me as the best tangible way to give back and show gratitude for my health. I am not a mountain climber, I am not under the illusion that this will be an easy feat, but I will use every ounce of my determination to summit Mt Kilimanjaro and prove that a regular person can do something great if they believe strongly enough in the reason for doing it. I'm doing this climb because I have the best family in the world who loves and supports me no matter what. I'm doing it because I believe in modern medicine and the best care for patients, and want to see a cure for cancer in my lifetime. I'm doing it for my grandad, who taught me how to drive a car, play pool, fish and how to be generous. Also because I'm inspired by my mum, who, as a registered nurse, has cared for other people her whole life and has the biggest heart of anyone I know. Please support us on our journey, we can't do it alone. Help us take the wishes and prayers of many to the top!!
