“Bowel cancer impacted my grandfather in his 60’s, sadly took my father-in-law at 59 and now my close mate Anthony was diagnosed with Stage 4 cancer at age 39.

I am inspired by Anthony who continues to fight towards beating it 5 years on and raise funds and awareness to address early-onset bowel cancer and to prevent others from going through this unacceptable impact on life.

Everything went to plan on the day and Melbourne turned on the weather. I got the job done in 5hours 40 minutes, under my 6hr target.

More importantly we raised $5.5K through my Half Ironman event and almost $30k from the total Conquer 65 campaign put on by Anthony’s sisters. The support from everyone has been fantastic!” ~ Steph.

Warmest thanks and congratulations Steph. Your support is greatly appreciated and will have a direct impact, helping us to champion what matters most to people impacted by bowel cancer and empower everyone affected to live their best life.
