"As someone who has had the privilege of walking alongside incredible people during the Miles to Mayo journey, I’m humbled to see the baton being picked up once again for such a vital cause. The Mountains to Mayo campaign is more than just a challenge—it’s a lifeline for children and families battling the toughest fight of their lives. Ensuing they can be treated like the stars they are.

Every step you take, every mountain you climb, brings hope, strength, and much-needed funds to support these kids. The courage they show every day is nothing short of inspiring, and together we can stand beside them and let them know they are not alone.

To everyone lacing up their boots, pushing their limits, or simply spreading the word, I salute you. This is about more than the journey—it’s about making a real difference. Let’s dig deep, stay strong, and keep climbing.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you for carrying on this mission. Together, we’ll continue to make sure no child faces cancer alone and prove the power of community.

Stay the course, and let’s make every step count."
