This year, I’m a proud member of the McGrath Foundation’s ‘Pink Army’ for the Vodafone Pink Test!
In the past I have stepped around the Sydney Cricket Ground and fundraised. But this Pink Test, I am stepping up and taking on the challenge by walking (I may even run too! Edit: Who are we kidding, that's unlikely!) 10,000 steps each of the five days.
Representing the Pink Army in my community, means I will be 'pinking up' and raising funds to support families experiencing breast cancer.
Every dollar you assist me in raising will help place specialist McGrath Breast Care Nurses wherever they’re needed – for free.
You can donate directly or even join me in stepping up to show we care!

My Updates
Day 9 (final day of the Test)
Sore feet, sore stomach muscles (how does THAT happen!), but still walking!
Day 8 (Day 4 of the Test)
After my morning walk, I did a rather long solo walk past a few points of nostalgia - including longest-friend's childhood home and my long-late grandmother's house. An interesting, enjoyable walk albeit rather tiring! :0
Day 7 (Day 3 of the Pink Test)
Jane McGrath Day - Day 3
Day 6 (or Test match day 2)
Day 5 - Test Day 1 update
10,483 recorded steps today. My goal is ten (because I'm either realistic or slack, depending on your viewpoint!); others in this challenge are doing twenty a day. Feeling at a disadvantage not having a fitbit ... but pleased I recorded over 10K today!
Day 5 - or Day 1 of the Pink Test
Sad to learn that all our "practice steps" have been reset this morning (*laughing emoji*)! The challenge is real now!!!
Day 4
Day 2
I've worked out how to manually add steps which I can do at the end of the day - manually add any steps that aren't recorded through Strava. However, given I rarely carry my phone when I'm doing housework, or gardening, or running errands, I'd like to think I've done a few more steps than I'm actually recording! Probably not too many more, but a few ... my personal goal is slightly less than the goal set by the McGrath Foundation (10,000 a day) and I have yet to achieve that ... two more days until the Test begins though ...
Day 1
Getting a head start - four days before the start of the Pink Test. Managed 6,255 steps but didn’t manage to get them all recognised by the web page ... ?Thank you to my Sponsors
