At average walking pace, I walked 12.8km around the Melbournian docklands. Just made it in under 2.5 hours – didn’t think I could do it! Especially at the 7km mark after we came off the freeway bridge, I was hot, dehydrated, and had a stitch. Thoughts of “why am i doing this, kill me now” were squashed when I looked up and saw the Royal Childrens hospital.

It became apparent quite quickly in mind, that if all those tiny humans can fight there respective illnesses and not give, I can’t and won’t give up. So with 3km left I put a rocket in my heels and slowly descended Parkville.

Someone said this to me today, and it resonated. 2019 will feature a lot of challenges, changes and choices that will characterise the next chapter of my life. It’s full of indecision and fear of the unknown. But the important thing to remember… there is a flicker of light, and hope at the end of the road.
