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.

Every dollar raised helps bring hope to young western Australians and creates a lasting impact in the schools, families and communities that need it most.

This May, I’m committing to a daily challenge: a ridiculously good 3-minute plank, every single day.

with a 30 second brake in-between each minute.

For me, holding a 3-minute plank takes persistence and real willingness. You start strong, but after about 30 seconds, your body is already telling you to stop. Instead, you stay focused and keep pushing—before you know it, the first minute is done. With two minutes still ahead, you realise you can do it. The real challenge is choosing to stay willing and finish what you started.
