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 SportsCARE this month!

As someone who is passionate about sport, my RIDICULOUSLY GOOD challenge is aimed at acknowledging the importance of Sports Chaplaincy within our sporting communities.

As a semi-professional basketball player my Sports Chaplain has had an impact that is often unseen but is important to team success and allowing for players, staff and people in the community to be heard and feel supported. 

So for my challenge, I will be making 38 shots a day from a different location on the court each day, to represent the 38 sporting clubs SportsCARE chaplains are currently involved in throughout Western Australia.

At the end of the month, I will have made 1,178 baskets which is why my goal is $1,178 raised.
