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.

A Laugh, Not a Lecture

I am someone who enjoys satire and a bit of sarcastic humour. For this fundraiser, I will be sharing moments of laughter for those who find traditional affirmations a bit cringey but still appreciate a word hug and some shared laughter.

Life can be heavy, and humour can be one of the ways we remind each other that we are not alone in it. As a chaplain, I see every day how moments of lightness, honesty, and shared laughter can help people pause, breathe, and feel a little less weighed down in the middle of hard things.

To start, here are a couple of lines from one of my favourite shows. If you know… you know 😉

“There’s nothing on my horizon except everything. Everything’s on my horizon.”

“I’m not superstitious, but I am a little stitious.”
