🚨 Last Call! 🚨
Hi, I’m Cheryn – 2IC, Receptionist, and All-Rounder at Ochre Medical Wyalla.

I’ll start with this, I’m not clinical!
But after 10 years as a medical receptionist, one thing I’ve learned is that activity is the key to a healthy lifestyle and recovery when unwell.
💪 Tomorrow, I’ll be trekking 75km to raise vital funds for the Toowoomba Hospital Foundation, supporting life-changing cancer care right here in our region.

Every step I take will help fund exercise physiology services at the Regional Cancer Centre, giving patients the strength and support they need to keep moving through treatment and recovery.
Cancer changes lives — but so does community. Together, we can make a real difference.
If you’d like to support me, every donation (big or small!) brings us closer to better care and brighter futures. 🌟

Let’s do this! 🧡💙🧡💙

Hi there! This year, I’m taking on Trek the Trail, a two-day, 75km hike to raise vital funds for the Toowoomba Hospital Foundation and support life-changing cancer care in our region.
