Share my fundraising effort with your network and let's beat dementia, together.

Help me raise money in honour of my Dad, Bob and the 421,000 Australians living with dementia.

On Sunday, 1 June, I'm taking part in the Gold Coast's Memory Walk & Jog to raise funds to support Australians impacted by dementia. This is a cause close to my heart and I would love your support.

Please make a donation to support my efforts and help us reach our goal to beat dementia.

Not many people know, but dementia is Australia's second-leading cause of death. By 2058 it's expected that over 800,000 Australians will have dementia. But we can change this.

All money I raise will support the work of Dementia Australia and help provide vital support services like counselling, support groups, education, and research to help find a cure.

Together we can achieve a lot. Your donation would mean the world to me.

Thanks for your support!

My Updates

In Loving Memory of My Dad

My dad was diagnosed with vascular dementia several years ago. One night while disoriented he took a wrong turn while trying to find the bathroom and fell down six steps to the floor. He left in an ambulance and unfortunately never returned home. He sustained a severe traumatic brain injury, multiple fractures, and a ruptured bladder. Following a prolonged stay in hospital he was transferred to a nursing home. While in the nursing home, he and his carers received support and training from Dementia Australia. On the 27th of March this year, dad passed away, two and half years after his fall. 

I’ve participated in the Memory Walk & Jog for the past two years, and I thought continuing to take part each year would be a nice way to honour his memory, while raising funds for Dementia Australia. 

Thank you to my sponsors
