A CANCER survivor and the head of Bendigo Health’s Medical Imaging Unit will trek for 1000km across Western Australia in a bold fundraising bid inspired by hardship.Bruce Kentish struggled to walk one lap of Lake Weeroona four months ago. Now - along with Luke Adorni - he hopes to walk 20km a day for 50 days as he completes the Bibbulum Track."I want to be a bit of a light to people who have got cancer and are going through treatment, to show there is life after it,” Mr Kentish said."You can recover and do all sorts of crazy things. Like going on a 1000km walk.”Mr Adorni said the pair would be carrying packs weighing 26kg each, and had trained steadily for the gruelling walk from Kalamunda to Albany.Mr Kentish has lost about that much weight since he was diagnosed with cancer in 2000."I just hope we make it, we really wanted it to be a bit of a challenge,” said Mr Adorni, who has worked at the hospital for about 15 years.Funds raised will be donated to the newly established Bendigo Health Foundation.Bendigo Health Foundation director Gloria Turner said the money donated would benefit the “Raise the Roof” appeal - a fundraising initiative to improve the lives of cancer patients while they receive treatment.To support Mr Kentish and Mr Adorni and to make a donation, telephone 5454 9174, email foundation@bendigohealth.org.au or visit the website www.mycause.com.au
