Amanda Draper - Mt Kilimanjaro 2012
My son was diagnosed with cancer at the age of 10. It is only because of cancer research that I am lucky enough to still have him today. As a single working mother (and foster mother) of six children I felt so lucky to be crowned the Banardos Mother of the Year for Western Australia in 2011. As a mother I have faced many challenges, but I believe that this challenge can help many other people who are not yet aware of cancer may affect them, or their families, in the future. Not only am I climbing Mount Kilimanjaro in Africa to raise money to help find a cure for a cancer, but to do this I need to lose 25kg and get fit enough to complete this challenge.
Please help support me to support this charity. I would welcome any contribution, great or small, that you could make!
