STEPS for Lymphoma

I'm taking part in Steps for Lymphoma

Lymphoma Australia is the only organisation in Australia dedicated and committed solely to patients and caregivers dealing with lymphoma and CLL.

This March, alongside a community of like-minded individuals, every step I take contributes to the collective steps for the Lymphoma goal, aiming to complete a loop around Australia. By doing so, we express solidarity with and provide support to Australians facing the challenges of living with Lymphoma.

The extensive journey along the Australian coastline spans a total of 30,400,000 steps. Each step I take this March brings us closer to achieving the overarching goal. I invite you to support me on this journey in any way possible, knowing that your support directly impacts Australians navigating the complexities of Lymphoma.

The End in Sight!

Monday 1st Apr
Well it's just past thevladt day of March and the last day of Steps For Lymphoma. Happy Easter to all. I hit me set per day step target and exceeded it but didn't hit the 10000 + step mark very often, so plenty of room for future improvement. 

J had originally set a fund-raising target if $350 but, since that was hit I then re-set it to $500, which was surpassed, thanks to all of my very kind and generous supporters. I would have loved  to have seen it hit $600 + but that is not to be, unless? 

Good news is that my husband is doing very well and slowly improving daily four months post stem.cell transplant for his NHL. We remain hopeful and faithful in our Lord Jesus Christ for his complete remission and recovery. 

And we wish you all a very Happy Easter. 

I Am Keeping Marching through March@

Tuesday 12th Mar
There were some tech difficulties again with logging my activity then with logging in for almost a week. Still seems if I log steos it doesn't show on graph and of course doesn't show km. If I lig both steps and kms, shows 0 steps but shows km and on graph. Anyway I have been hitting over 9000 steps mist days from.my walking fitness activities on top of my usual steps schlepping around. 

I may have reached my $500 target but I still need you moral support and more donations are a huge plus!

I hope you all are getting out there walking, moving, & enjoying life! 

Decrease my steps,/ distance these last few days

Tuesday 27th Feb
Sorry. These last few days my steps haven't been kept up. I've been unwell for several days so that's put me behind. But I'm very happy to say today I made 'strides' to get back on track. And only $9 left to go to hit my fund-raising target!😉❤️

Only $9 from my $500 target!

Wednesday 21st Feb
Thank you so.much to all of you who have already donated to my Steos either Lymphoma fund-raiser page. You have kept me so motivated to keep up my daily steps and kms and to aim to increase those and add a few new activities daily that I don't log. 

I've only got $9 left to reach my $500 target!!! Please consider donating to help me and the Lymphoma organisation to help others in need of their supports dealing with this disease. XXXOOO

Fitness Activity Updated

Wednesday 21st Feb
Finally I have been able to log my daily walks steps count and update my fitness activity for this last week the link wasn't working on my page. That is why they are somewhat out of order. Test done by Peter of Steps with Lymphoma worked for him on the 16th and I was able to edit that but I was still getting error pages and couldn't log in other days.  Thanks to Peter and IT team there it seems to have been resolved ATM. 

Technical difficulties

Friday 16th Feb
Hi all. Just to let you know I've been experiencing technical difficulties in uploading/ adding fitness activity. This is where you select date, activity (walking), steps, km and time in minutes. It is not allowing the submission since 13/02. I want youbto know I havent slacked off! So here are my total steps for walks for these last few days:

13/02  8245
14/02  10683
15/02  8465
16/02  8898

(I have sent them an email to alert them to this issue)

Only $50 away from my target!

Wednesday 14th Feb
I started with a target of raising $350 but when that had been surpassed, I reset it to $500. Now we're nearly there, only $50 more to go! With your help I know we can quickly reach it. Donations of $2.00 or more are tax deductible in Australia. Donations in all different amounts are most welcomed: $2, $5, $10, $20 etc. 

Your continued support of positive thoughts, messages and prayers are also most welcomed. 

I continue striving to surpass my set step goal of 7500 steps per day and aim to do my best to increase my km achieved during the 'real deal' in March. Watch this space. ☺️

Happy Valentine's Day to one and all.♥️

Planning

Saturday 3rd Feb
Wow! I am so humbled that you all have helped me to not only achieve my set fundraising goal, but now surpass it! As a result I am going to reset it to a $500 target! Let's all reach that together. 🙏🎉🎉

It's going to be a very hot day tomorrow here in Sydney area at 37 C (nearly 99 F)! So I am Lanning to get out earlier for first walk of the day. However later on I will probably have to resort to doing laps of my house and add in some walking videos or similar activities to maintain km and step count. 

Wherever you are please stay safe and well. Keep cool and well hydrated (unless in cold climates, then stay warm and dry! ☺️♥️)

Thank you all again so much for your support!.

Welcome to my fundraising page!

Friday 2nd Feb
Hi! If you don't already know me, my name is Marti. I have decided to join Steps for Lymphoma in raising money and awareness mainly because my husband has been and currently is suffering from lymphoma. We also have several friends also affected by this disease. In addition I thought it would be a great motivation to increase my daily steps, walking distance and fitness. 

Since I use forearm crutches to mobilise (from injuries and medical condition) I do walk very slowly and usually parcel walks into 2-4 lots a day. But I always go by the mantra 'Just keep moving!' Every little bit is still moving forward. 

I do appreciate all of your support. All donations are very welcome, every little amount adds up. And all of your positive thoughts and moral and spiritual support are also very much appreciated as well. ♥️☺️

Thank you to my Sponsors
