Crunches Challenge 2026

I'm taking on the Crunches Challenge this June for Dementia Australia

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.

My mum is diagnosed and living with dementia and we're just doing our small part to support this cause. From a lively chatty person, her character changed and she's very quiet now, living in her own thoughts with difficulties to verbalise it. 

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.

Monday 15th Jun
I can't say I'm enjoying this challenge....they say it will get easier. My question is when does it get easier?

I did my 95 crunches whilst watching my national team win their first FIFA Group Game!! Yay! GO SCOTLAND!! 

Day 10 today....

Wednesday 10th Jun
Starting was hard....there was a day I couldn't bear the pain of doing any crunches (Day 3 I think). On to day 10 and it's not getting easier...but doing this for mum.  

Thank you for your gift
