In 2010, Boon suffered a blockage in the arteries of her lungs after surgery and she was initially unable to walk due to lack of breath. She began to compete in CrossFit, participating at the 2016 and 2017 Crossfit Games, and in 2013 she began competing in Olympic-style weightlifting.[2] She achieved two 2nd-place finishes in the Australian Weightlifting Open, and the 2017 Oceania Weightlifting Championships.[1][2] In 2018, she competed in the Women's 58 kg event at the Commonwealth Games on the Gold Coast.[1]
