What is this about?
I signed up for my first fundraising challenge with CMRI! On November 12th I’ll be hiking 18km to summit Mount Kosciuszko (Australia’s highest mountain) Etheridge Ridge & Rams Head North.
But before that, and to spice up the challenge, I will be running the City2Surf popular run in Sydney covering 14km (14th August) as well as the Sydney Marathon (18th September).
With every step I take as part of the 3 Peaks challenge, I’ll be raising vital funds for research to find better treatments and cures for children's genetic diseases, including cancer.
Along the way (>550km), I’m aiming to raise $3000, but I need your help. Will you support my fundraising efforts by donating to my page here? Every dollar raised goes to CMRI. Thank you for your support!

Last Sunday I "run" 35km in The Bloody Long Walk!
Through the blisters, sweat and aching legs, this 35km was for kids and adults affected by mitochondrial disease, a debilitating genetic disease that causes organ dysfunction and failure.
And OFC, was a good training for what it is coming soon! Still some work to do...

Who am I?
Sunday 19th Jun
My name is Anna! I am originally from Spain, but I have been living in The Netherlands for six years doing my PhD on molecular cancer biology. I recently moved to Sydney to continue my career as a scientist, working at the Children Medical Research Institute (CMRI) on cancer research.
I love being outdoors, either in the sea side or in the mountains. You will likely find me on a climbing wall, biking or running.
And I am so ready to start a new challenge!
