I'm taking on the Crunches Challenge this June for Dementia Australia in Memory of William Kenneth Gagan or as most of you knew him, Billy Boy.

My dad was someone I admired my entire life. He was strong, kind, and the person who shaped so much of who I am. Losing him to dementia was heartbreaking, and I miss him every single day. I’m taking part in this challenge in his honour — to raise awareness, support others, and help make a difference for families facing this cruel disease.

Currently, it is estimated that more than 446,500 Australians are living with dementia. Without a significant intervention, the number of Australians living with dementia is expected to increase to more than 1 million by 2065.

Your contribution will make a world of difference for people impacted by dementia, every donation big or small counts!

Thank you so much for your support.
