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.

Help me support YouthCARE today

This May, I’m committing to something simple but meaningful: walking for 30 minutes, five days a week — rain or shine.

Each 30-minute walk represents the time spent in the Youthcare space: being a friend to a young person who needs it, serving breakfast to start the day right, having real conversations with families, and staying connected with the wider school community.

These moments may seem small, but they add up to something powerful — support, trust, and a sense of belonging for those who need it most.

I’m raising funds throughout May to help continue this important work. If you’re able to support me, every contribution goes toward creating safe, supportive spaces for young people and their families.

Thank you for walking alongside me — in spirit or in support.

Thursday 21st May

Wow, I didn't expect my target to be reached so soon!

Thank you so much for all your donations - not long to go until the end of May (Who's counting). To be honest it's been such an enjoyable way to raise donations. I've met some interesting people and wonderful dogs along the way. It's something I will continue long after the month of May....So for now, I'll keep those steps going up!

Monday Update!

Monday 11th May

What a beautiful start to the week! This May weather is amazing, nice fresh starts to the day and lovely soft sunshine to warm us up later on! I'm really enjoying walking in this weather, having the time to slow down and enjoy the world around me.

Thank you so very much to everyone who is encouraging me, and donating to YouthCARE, your donations will go towards building real change for our children and young people.

Happy Monday!!
