Will you support my Live Fearless Challenge?

Hi 👋

I'm taking part in the 2026 Live Fearless Challenge – and I'd love your support!

I've challenged myself to move for at least 30 minutes every day this September, while raising funds for a cause that's close to my heart.

Over 180 thousand Australians live with Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis (known as Inflammatory Bowel Disease or IBD). There is currently no cure, and very little government funding dedicated to the condition.

This is why I've chosen to support Crohn's & Colitis Australia, to help them continue supporting IBD patients and their families, funding critical research, and advocating for a better future for all Australians with IBD.

Even a small donation can have a big impact, so if you can, please make a donation today.

All donations over $2 are tax-deductible (you’ll receive a receipt straight to your inbox).

Thank you so much for supporting me – it means a lot! 💜


We also need 💩 donors, please help or ask anyone who may be able too - only 20% of those who offer to donate are accepted and payment for donations is usually available.
