My Challenge for kids in need...
I'm taking on The Smith Family Challenge 2026 to help children in need to break the cycle of disadvantage through education.
Over 2 days I will run, mountain bike and kayak over 100km through the course to reach the finish line.
It's going to be TOUGH! But the hard work will all be worth it so that I can help kids in need with their education.
In Australia, 1 in 6 children are growing up in disadvantaged homes, where even the basics in life are hard to come by.
But supporting their education is the key to breaking this cycle!
Your donation will give these kids the essentials they need like school books, bags, uniforms, shoes and extra help at school.
Thanks for your support (and wish me luck!)
So far this year, I have helped provide:
79
School Essentials Packs
19
reading buddies and books
22
children with their education
I’ve raised $ 817,590 over 16 years

You are a glutton for punishment. Having said that, it is a wonderful cause, and it puts the rest of us to shame.
