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.

1 May - Ridiculously Good Run

Saturday 2nd May

I’m challenging myself to run 6.38km every day of May

Thursday 30th Apr
This May, I’m stepping into something that feels equal parts uncomfortable and important- I’m committing to running 6.38km every single day as part of the Youthcare Ridiculously Good Challenge. 
Why 6.38km? Because it represents something bigger than just distance. It’s a daily reminder of the 638 Youthcare Chaplains showing up everyday, creating small, consistent steps to real change for people young and older who need support, safety and someone in their corner. 
Like many families, we’ve seen firsthand how important it is for kids and adults to feel understood, supported and like they truly belong. Not everyone has that. Youthcare shows up in schools and communities, providing chaplaincy, well being support and a safe space when life feels overwhelming. 
This challenge isn’t just about fitness. It’s about discipline on the hard days, showing up when I don’t feel like it, and choosing purpose over comfort - because that’s what so many people we support are doing everyday.
There will be early mornings, tired legs, wet weather and mental negotiation along the way. But if it helps raise awareness, start conversations and support the work Youthcare does, it’s worth every step. 
If you’d like to follow along, support or even join in - I’d love that. Let’s do something ridiculously good together!
