Crunches Challenge 2025

In loving memory of Hans Siig

From elite athlete to forgetting his own name, it has been 2 years since my beloved Grandad passed away from Alzheimer’s disease.


Dementia is one of the cruellest cognitive diseases that affects so many people. Sadly, there is no current cure. 


I am wanting to raise donations for Dementia Australia, a cause close to my heart, and would appreciate your support as I complete the Crunches Challenge this July (2,500 crunches 1-31 July 2025) .  


Currently, it is estimated that more than 433,300 Australians are living with dementia. Without a medical breakthrough, the number of people with dementia is expected to increase to more than 812,500 by 2058.

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.

To all my sponsors, I write to you to say a huge warm thank you for donating to my campaign. I have officially completed my 2,500 crunches! Your support means so much to me and will certainly help to make a difference for dementia cases in Australia, and for that I am so grateful.


This cause is deeply personal to me as it is something that has profoundly affected not only my life but also the lives of those I love. Seeing so many friends and families come together and contribute so generously has brought not just awareness, but hope for those affected by this incurable condition. 


Thank you for standing with me to support this important cause. 


With huge appreciation,


Sara ❤️

Sara, my mother-in-law, passed away very slowly with Dementia. My brother-in-law died with motor neurone disease and dementia. Bella is doing Sudoku to keep her mind alert - get the blood and electricity running to the brain. Bella threatens me every day as she fails to wear her night breathing machine. So, Dementia is one of those cruel diseases that progresses in the body as the inflammatory fats (omega-6) weaken the blood vessels, which in turn weaken the muscles, reducing the supply of oxygenated blood to our organs and brain. You're kicking big goals by highlighting to your classmates the importance of maintaining a healthy body by eating the very best 82%+ Omega-9 Enjoi oil! Hugs
