I'm making the impossible, possible, by taking part in Australia's Walk & Jog Challenge to raise much needed funds for dementia research.

I’m currently taking part in the Impossible Walk Challenge to raise money for Dementia Australia. We’re halfway through the challenge and I still have another 12km to walk over the next week to reach my 44km goal!

I decided to join this challenge after being diagnosed with Alzheimer’s last year. It’s been a huge adjustment and something my family and I are learning to navigate day by day.

There is currently no cure for dementia, and over 400,000 Australians are affected by it. Dementia Australia helps provide support for families while also funding important research and trials to hopefully find better treatments and one day a cure.

I’d love to help support the amazing work they do, so if you are able to donate, thank you so much, it truly means a lot 🤍
