15 September

Having updated my goals earlier this week, I realised I needed do set another challenge! I was approached by Sheryl asking if I would like to join her on the Bondi to Manly coastal walk at the end of November to conclude our Lap the Map Journey for 2026!

11 September

Interesting observation - my average daily walk/ride for Lap the Map is 9km!

This is the same as the number of people who pass away from suicide every day 😢😢

10 September

I’m so excited to see how much I have accomplished doing the last 2 and a bit months!

Nearly achieved my walking goal!

Will have to consider setting a new goal?!?

Thanks to everyone for your support and encouragement during this time

5/9 last day of challenge!

Today I finished my variation of the Solitary Islands Coastal Walk. It certainly was a challenge and I almost gave up after yesterday. However I persevered and am glad I did! Will put up a photo of the walk.

3/9 My Challenge

This morning I started my Solitary Islands Coastal Walk.

Walking on the beach was harder than I expected. I managed to walk 18km before ‘pulling the plug’ as it became too hot!

Tomorrow is supposed to be cooler!

26 August - An Amazing Country

I am amazed at how much I have achieved in less than 2 months!

550km of 👣 and ‘riding’ and all the time discovering more about beautiful places around Coffs (walking) as well as other amazing places in this fantastic country I call home!

26/8

It’s 🌧️ this morning so I’m going to do some peddling to get some Kms!

25/8 Peddling

I’ve now started watching videos as I do my peddling! This morning I ‘visited’ Yamba - about 1.5hrs drive north of here!

I will definitely have to take a trip up there - lots of great places to walk!

Bike Riding

Most Tuesdays & Fridays I do a 2km ride on a stationary bike as part of my exercise at the hospital gym. Trying to strengthen muscles etc to avoid having a knee replacement.

Urunga Boardwalk 15/8

💕👀the progress on the boardwalk.

It’s going to be amazing when it’s finished!👏🏻👏🏻

Check out the picture!

14/8 Fluro Fun!

At our get together at Woopi beach this morning I asked my Fluro family to walk with me along the whale trail on 4 September.

💕💕💕the positive response from them and am excited to have them come with me as I start day 2 of my Solitary Islands Coastal Walk!

Solitary Islands Coastal Walk Challenge

The dates have been set 👏🏻👏🏻!

I will be leaving Red Rock on Thursday 3 September to follow the walk to Woopi where I will spend the night with my family.

On Friday morning my Fluro tribe will send me off on the next leg of my 👣👣towards Coffs Harbour.

The final leg on Saturday, will be from Coffs to Sawtell Headland - the end of my 60km trek!

11/8

A long er walk today. 💕💕seeing my furry friend- wasn’t in the least bit afraid of me! (See pic below)

Fluro Friday

The encouragement I’ve been getting from my Fluro family is amazing to say the least!

💕💕 💕

They motivate me to go above and beyond anything I thought possible!

Tracking my Kms

Apps on my phone are great for tracking my walks - I just need to remember to make sure the phone is charged. 🤪😂

My phone ‘died’ whilst I was on my walk today so all my kms were not recorded!

Daily Walking

Every few days I will post a photo showing the number of steps & kilometres I have walked each day.

YAY!

Lap the Map 2026 has started! Looking forward to a great time walking throughout the Coffs Coast!

I'm doing Lap the Map to Transform Lives with Diabetic Alert Dogs

Living with diabetes can be tough, with constant worries about blood sugar levels. Diabetic Alert Dogs are specially trained to detect changes in their owner’s blood sugar, alerting them before it becomes dangerous. These amazing dogs not only help keep people safe but also offer comfort and companionship.

My goal is two fold:

1. To raise awareness of the work of Lions Assistance Dogs

2. To assist in providing life-changing Diabetic Alert Dogs free of charge to Australians living with diabetes.

I believe everyone should have access to this support, regardless of their situation.
