Giving Back Through Every Candle: 20–26 October 2025

Giving Back Through Every Candle: 20–26 October 2025

This October, something truly powerful is happening at Soothe Your Senses. From the 20th to the 26th of October 2025, we are proud to announce that 100% of every single candle sale will be donated directly to the Australian Cancer Research Foundation (ACRF). That means every flame you light isn’t just filling your home with peace and warmth—it’s fueling life-saving research that brings us closer to a future without cancer.

This isn’t just another campaign. For me, it’s deeply personal. My Dad bravely faced cancer, and even though he’s not here today, I carry his strength and spirit with me in everything I do. If he were here, I know he’d be right beside me, cheering me on and giving this a red-hot go. That’s why this week means more than words can capture—it’s about turning love into action, grief into purpose, and candles into hope.

Why This Week Matters

We all know someone whose life has been touched by cancer. It’s a disease that doesn’t discriminate, and it leaves no family untouched. By supporting ACRF, we’re helping to fund world-class cancer research—research that leads to breakthroughs, treatments, and hope for patients and families.

This week, you don’t just get to buy a candle—you get to be part of a bigger movement. Each candle you purchase becomes a flicker of hope in the darkness, a tribute to resilience, and a contribution to ending cancer.

How You Can Help

There are so many ways to join this mission:

💛 Buy a Candle (20–26 Oct): Every dollar from your purchase goes directly to ACRF.
💛 Spread the Word: Share this campaign with your friends, family, and community.
💛 Show Support: A like, a comment, or even cheering me on makes the journey lighter.
💛 Donate Directly: If you’d like to give more, you can support my ACRF fundraising pages.

More Than Just Candles: Running for A Cause

In 2026, my journey continues beyond candles. I’ll be running and walking with #TeamACRF in a series of marathons and endurance events, including:

• HOKA Runaway Sydney Half Marathon
• Great Ocean Road Running Festival
• Cradle Mountain Run, Tasmania
• Tasmania’s Gone Nuts 101 Adventure Run
• …and many more.

Every kilometre will be dedicated to my Dad, to the families who’ve faced cancer, and to the hope that one day, we’ll find an end to this disease. My personal fundraising goal is $6,000 in 2026, and this Giving Back Week is the spark that sets it all in motion.

Join the Movement

This week is about more than candles—it’s about community, compassion, and commitment. Together, we can transform something as simple as lighting a candle into a powerful act of giving.

So, when you buy a candle between 20–26 October 2025, know that you’re not just creating a calm moment for yourself—you’re also helping create a brighter future for families everywhere.

Let’s light the way forward. Together, we can make a difference.
