18 months ago I was in a wheelchair

A lot of people have experienced much worse. So this is not all about me.

But for perspective - to have a Near Death Experience, to be in ICU for 3 weeks on half hour watch for a large part of it - and then to have two periods of temporary paralysis requiring being fed and pushed around in a wheelchair, has changed my life for ever.

To be able to walk to raise funds for The Heart Foundation is something I don't take for granted.

I am so grateful to be able to walk every day!

I am grateful that during June I can walk and with your generous support, convert those steps funds to help heart disease research so others may live longer and enjoy better lives.

Gratitude is something to be considered every day. Walking is a wonderful way to start each day, to focus on the many things and many people for which I am grateful.

I look at this photo and continue to be amazed I am smiling.

Will you help me Run For Heart? (I will actually be walking!)

This June, I'm stepping out in my #BarbieBoxChallenge as “Miss VG – Walking for Research Edition” — walking a marathon to raise funds for the Heart Foundation.

Why? Because research saves lives.

People close to you. People close to me. Maybe even you.

❤️ If you're able, please consider sponsoring my walk — even a small donation can help fund research that changes lives.

🎯 Not in a position to give right now? A cheer, a share, or a kind word is just as powerful.

Your generosity supports the 1 in 6 Australians living with cardiovascular disease, and helps fund the research and support services that improve diagnosis, treatment, and recovery.

Thanks for being in my corner. Let’s put our hearts into it — together.
