Support my challenge to care for young Western Australians

Every school day across Western Australia, 250,000 students walk into a school where someone knows their name. In 2025, YouthCARE chaplains and volunteers showed up in 600 school communities and 38 sporting clubs across the state, from the Kimberley to the Great Southern.

They sat with students navigating hard things, served nearly 700,000 meals through Breakfast Club, delivered 30,760 wellbeing sessions, and supported more than 10,000 athletes and their families on the sidelines.

260,000 people. One consistent presence. Ridiculously good care.

Your support helps provide ridiculously good care to young Western Australians.

Bergsma Burpees for Breakfast

I love breakfast. I hate burpees. So naturally, I'm doing 1,000 burpees over the next month to raise money for breakfast.

Here's the thing. YouthCARE, supports more than 600 public schools and 38 sporting clubs across WA. One of the things we do is serve over 700,000 breakfasts a year to kids who turn up to school hungry.

Let me say that again. 700,000 breakfasts. To kids. Who are hungry. At school. It sucks that this is necessary. It's brilliant that it's happening. And I want us to do a whole lot more of it.

So every morning, before I've earned my own breakfast, I'll be dropping to the floor and grinding out burpees. By the end of the month, that's 1,000 of them.

Here's where you come in. Every dollar you chip in goes straight to YouthCARE so we can put more breakfasts in front of more kids. A few bucks = a few breakfasts. It's that simple.

I'll do the burpees - You do the giving. We'll feed some kids. Ridiculously good. I’ll also cover the physio!

Birthday Burpees for Breakfast

Wednesday 20th May

Not pretty. Not glamorous. But 140 burpees deep into this morning's session, I'm still going. 630 of the 1000 burpee goal complete.


Lucky for me, today's recovery was sorted. I joined YouthCARE's CEO Tamsyn at Melt Wellness Studio, who's tackling her own challenge of 638 minutes in an ice plunge pool across May - A minute for every school and sporting community YouthCARE supports across Western Australia.


Every burpee and every dollar is for a kid who shouldn't have to start school hungry.
