I'm raising money to support Emmy Monash’s Residents, and the 433,300 Australians living with dementia.

On Sunday, 17 May, I’ll be taking part in the Melbourne Memory Walk & Jog — something I’m doing because dementia is a cause that’s genuinely close to my heart.

Dementia affects so many Australians, families, and communities, often in quiet ways we don’t always see or talk about. It’s already Australia’s leading cause of death, and the numbers continue to grow. But that also means there’s a real opportunity to make a difference.

All funds I raise will support the work of Dementia Australia, helping provide counselling, support groups, education, and research for people living with dementia and those who care for them.

If you’re able to support me with a donation, I’d be incredibly grateful. Every contribution — no matter the size — helps and is genuinely appreciated.

Thank you so much for your support.
