I’m raising money in memory of my late father‑in‑law, and on behalf of the 433,300 Australians living with dementia and the families who love them.

This is a cause very close to my heart. In 2023, my wife, our two daughters, and our two grandchildren lost a beloved father, grandfather, and great‑grandfather with dementia.

On Sunday, 17 May, I’m taking part in Melbourne’s Memory Walk & Jog to raise funds for Australians impacted by dementia.

I’d love your support. Please consider making a donation to help us reach our goal to beat dementia.

Not many people realise that dementia is Australia’s leading cause of death, and by 2058 more than 800,000 Australians are expected to be living with it. For families like mine, these numbers represent real people, real loss, and an urgent need for change.

Every dollar I raise will support the work of Dementia Australia, helping to provide vital services such as counselling, support groups, education, and research into finding a cure.

Together, we can make a difference—thank you for your support.
