“I decided to fundraise for Bowel Cancer Australia because of the impact bowel cancer has had on my best friend Amy. Amy lost her Mum (Jane) in 2024 after an eight year journey with cancer.

Taking on the 25 km Port to Pub Ultramarathon challenge was such a privilege. I was incredibly proud to swim in honour of Jane and to recognise the hardship and significant impact bowel cancer has on families and communities.

Through the generous donations received, I hope to contribute to the work of Bowel Cancer Australia in supporting those affected by bowel cancer, raising awareness, and developing research.” ~ Lucy
