I'm raising funds for people with dementia!

This August, I’m running 5km every day to raise money for Dementia Australia, and I’d be incredibly grateful for your support.


If you’re able to donate, no matter the amount, it will help Dementia Australia continue providing vital support, education and counselling for people living with dementia and the families living this heartbreaking journey.


This cause is deeply personal to me. My Dad passed away with dementia in 2022, and watching the disease slowly take away the man he was is something I’ll never forget. He had overcome so many challenges in his life, but dementia was the one battle he couldn’t fight.


Living so far away made it even harder. Seeing someone so strong gradually lose their memories, their independence and parts of themselves, while knowing there was nothing I could do, was devastating.


Dementia steals more than memories. It steals time, conversations and precious moments with the people we love.


By the end of August, I’ll have run 155km. It’ll be tough, but it’s nothing compared to what people living with dementia and their families face every single day.


If you can, please donate and help Dementia Australia continue their incredible work while driving research towards a future without dementia.


Thank you so much for your support. ❤️
