Shark Week Super Fund

By Alicia Spurr

Cycle with me

For my next menstrual cycle I will be raising awareness and funds to support people in need across Australia. 

I will be moving my body in many ways throughout the month to get the conversation flowing! Join my journey each day as I climb, hike, bike, walk, lift, swim and dance my way through supporting others with a menstrual cycle…like a super tampon on cycle day 1. 

All funds raised will help provide free menstrual products to those in need and give them the dignity and comfort they deserve. 

Any support you can share towards this fundraiser will go along way, making a huge, life-changing difference to the lives of many. 

About Share the Dignity

Share the Dignity works to make a real, on the ground difference in the lives of those experiencing homelessness, fleeing domestic violence, or doing it tough. They distribute period products to those in need and work to end period poverty here in Australia.

Cycle day 25

Saturday 30th Jul
I am well and truely in the Autumn phase of my cycle. I am starting to slow down and feeling more emotional. I treated myself to a nourishing lunch and a small walk in between the on and off showers today. I have covered 176km so far.

Cycle day 20-24

Friday 29th Jul
The last 4 days I have been in production mode, getting all the work done! I feel colourful and like I can just be myself. I was hoping to attract some native birds on this hike, but instead I caught the attention and joy of other hikers walking the the other direction. Everyone loved the leggings, too bad a fell over and ripped a hole in the bum!

Cycle day 19

Monday 25th Jul
Today I took myself on an day trip to Denmark WA. I felt truly in awe of my ability to tune in to what I wanted and needed on the day. It started off with a nourishing brunch and coffee with some quiet reading (of this period bible). Then I just felt like moving!!! I walked a good 5km to and from a community market and around the local museums. After working up a bit of a sweat I felt the desire to go swimming. 12 degrees with a beam of winter sun, that’s all I needed to take a splash. I thought of my fellow Happy Place Wellness crew, who were experiencing a day of ice and inspiration at Elevated Springs and created a bit of my own magic in Denmark.

Cycle day 17

Friday 22nd Jul
Today I embraced the winter weather with no forecast rain and hit the hiking trails. Connecting with nature and moving my body daily really helps me to stay connected to myself. I tune in with myself each day and make decisions about what level of intensity my body is up for. Today was a moderate intensity hill climb!

Cycle day 15

Wednesday 20th Jul
Feeling like an unstoppable boss bitch. I’m strong, motivated and my thoughts are clear! I am aiming to reach 200km over this cycle, and today I have reached over 115km.

Cycling through spring

Tuesday 19th Jul
Cycle days 9-14 have been some of the best! I love me in the Spring of my cycle. 
I feel a great sense of purpose after allowing myself time and space to be quiet and reflect during my period. 

I’m up and about moving my body with more intent and higher intensity, I’m making plans for the future and putting my thoughts into action! 

Cycle day 6

Tuesday 12th Jul
Moving my body for period poverty. Out of my introvert cave and into the world. It was a humbling experience to share some time with the Monday bowls club crew. I was impressed to see people in their 80’s moving, bending, balancing and enjoying a shared activity.

Cycle day 4 and 5

Monday 11th Jul
I am emerging from my menstruation cave. Day 4 was tough with a lot of emotions and feeling disconnected. Day 5 brought some clarity and a desire to get outside and embrace the cold winter air!

Cycle day 3- Period positivity video

Friday 8th Jul

Cycle day 2- feeling like myself again

Thursday 7th Jul
I started the morning with a slow 5km walk through the foggy 3 degree streets of Kendenup. Luckily my walking companion Speckles the Husky and I had our winter woolies on.

Over the last 5 years I have been actively tuning into my cycle and unlocking the health benefits associated with understanding my monthly rhythm. Day 2 feels like a new beginning for me. I feel at home in my body and truely calm and connected.
