I'm a 29 year old nursing living and working in Melbourne. Working in health care I see daily the impact Cancer has on patients, families and friends. Yet often underestimated is the impact cancer has on the nurse caring for the patients in some of their hardest days. We feel, become attached to our patients and hate seeing what patients and families go through whilst battling Cancer.
I am doing this trek for my very close friend Catherine Ross who is battling stage III Bowel Cancer. I want to support her and her husband Jamie, and continue to raise awareness for Bowel Cancer.
I look forward to the challenge and excited to be completing the trek with my father, Rick Keen.
