FRESH off building he and his late wife’s “dream house”, a Lorne local is now preparing to run more than 150km in her honour and raise more than $100,000 for cancer research.<\/p>\n

Tomorrow, (November 22), Lorne resident Cameron Nugent will embark on a non-stop journey from the place he and his wife met at Pharan, Melbourne, to their dream house in Lorne.<\/p>\n

During her breast cancer battle, Cameron’s wife Skye asked her husband to build them a dream house as a long-term passion project.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Mr Nugent was not a builder and had no experience in the field, however, was tasked with completing the project completely on his own.<\/p>\n

The pair started the project together and completed the early planning stages, before Skye’s passing.<\/p>\n

Facing his grief head on, Mr Nugent took on the project and committed himself completely to the process<\/p>\n

This included sleeping in tents and in his car for two years, and taking up welding, sewing and bricklaying courses.<\/p>\n

Eight years later, Mr Nugent has finished the project.<\/p>\n

He said running the 150km journey would be the ultimate way to celebrate her life and legacy.<\/p>\n

“It’s taken me eight years to get to this point, so I wanted to do something to commemorate this milestone.<\/p>\n

“I’ve always liked running, so I thought I’d run from the gorgeous place we met to the newly built house.<\/p>\n

“I always felt that people don’t understand how terrible the battle is with cancer, and Skye did it with such resilience.<\/p>\n

“I can’t equate the battle to the battle my wife went through, and while 150km of running seems torturous, it won’t be.<\/p>\n

“I’m not preparing one bit at all; I’m just running the 150km on the day.<\/p>\n

“I’ll be in pain, it’ll hurt, but I’m just going to do it.”<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Mr Nugent said the campaign had already attracted more than $50,000 in donations.<\/p>\n

“We thought we better shoot for the stars and try to get to $100,000.<\/p>\n

“We’ve been absolutely buoyed by the generosity so far. It’s been absolutely glorious.<\/p>\n

“I’m so stoked Sam (Jonhson) from Love Your Sister convinced me to raise money as part of it all.<\/p>\n

“It’s a wonderful cause and Love Your Sister is such an amazing organisation.<\/p>\n

“I get emotional, it’s a despicable disease, and we are on the path towards finding a cure, which makes me really proud.<\/p>\n

“I continue to be humbled by the support and to have the opportunity to share this with the community.”<\/p>\n

\"\"
Mr Nugent has been working on the house for over eight years, and previously had no building experience.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

 <\/p>\n

Mr Nugent said he hoped the house and his fundraising efforts would make Skye proud.<\/p>\n

“She always told me to stop wallowing in the pity and to enjoy what we had.<\/p>\n

“We’ve got this beautiful legacy house and I’ll be living in the memory of what we had together.<\/p>\n

“I’m so proud, and I hope she will be too.”<\/p>\n
