DIY for Prostate Cancer 2026

Will you support me this Blue September? Let's tackle prostate cancer together

This September I've set myself a fundraising challenge to help bring down prostate cancer and support our mates. 

Here's the gameplan:

I have set myself a goal of 739 minutes of walking with my family, wearing blue! Spreading the word one step at a time!

Let's tackle prostate cancer together. Donate now. Because prostate cancer is killing people in our community. It's the most diagnosed cancer for blokes in NZ. 

Your support helps provide research into treating and diagnosing prostate cancer, along with support for people affected by a diagnosis. Plus you'll be helping raise awareness so more blokes know to get tested when they need to.

Donate now.

My Updates

Target reached!

Monday 28th Sep

Update has been well overdue with target reached last week!

Lots of lovely walks done in the beautiful city of Christchurch, though weather has been very inpredictable.

Our team has pulled so nicely together and it has been great to see the participation on our internal communication as well as in the social media :)Though we have reached our targets, no one has stopped working to get more donations in! Hopefully we will see few more in these last couple of days!

739min walk challenge - 330minutes reached

Monday 14th Sep

The lovely weather helped to reach almost 50% of my challenge target for the end of last week!

Lots of walking on Sunday - beautiful views and sunshine was a bonus. Glad to be part of an important cause.

Also very happy to see lots of our work team members have taken a part and either participating on challenges or donating. Hopefully all of this work we put in helps to raise the awaraness!

739min walk challenge - Slow Progress

Thursday 10th Sep

This winter hasn't been easy with seasonal flu hitting the country hard. Personally it has been a very hard winter and recovery has been slow.

Despite that glad to be participating on the Blue September! Though have barely been out and about walking in blue, we have made some progress and reached 90minutes of our goal.

Big bonus is the fact that (for some mysterious reason) I am getting a lot of smiles from people!

Tackle prostate cancer together.
