I’m taking on the Munga-Thirri Simpson Desert Challenge for Youngcare

For nine incredible days, I'll be taking on the adventure of a lifetime, where I'll be taken out of my comfort zone, to raise much needed funds and awareness for young people with complex and permanent physical disabilities.

Youngcare is fighting for freedom, dignity and choice for young people with complex and permanent physical disabilities to choose where they live, who they live with, and how they live their lives.

Please donate to my page and show your support. Donations directly support young people with complex physical disabilities!

Training Hike #4 - Lomandra Circuit

Wednesday 9th Sep

I completed the Lomandra Circuit, another important step in preparing for the challenge ahead. Every training hike builds the endurance, resilience, and mental strength needed to take on the vast and demanding landscapes of the Munga-Thirri Simpson Desert. The journey isn't just about reaching the finish line. It's about pushing beyond comfort zones, embracing challenges, and supporting a cause that makes a real difference. 🎥 I'm sharing a few highlights from today's hike as part of the journey. If you'd like to support me and contribute to this important cause, I'd be incredibly grateful for your donation. Every contribution, no matter the size, helps make a meaningful impact and provides extra motivation with every training kilometre. Thank you to everyone who has supported, encouraged, and donated so far. Your generosity keeps me moving forward, one step at a time. #YoungcareMungaThirriSimpsonDesert #TrekTraining #Fundraising #Hiking #AdventureForACause #OutdoorChallenge #MakingADifference Video link: https://gopro.com/v/bbd79728-5e03-4935-8fd2-1a50ad1ab79c

Training Hike #3 - Forgan Cove Trail, Lake Samsonvale

Wednesday 9th Sep

Miles in the legs. Time on the trail. Eyes on the goal. 🥾 Another solid training hike at Forgan Cove Trail, North Pine Dam. Every step gets me closer to the Youngcare Munga-Thirri Simpson Desert Trek. #HikeTraining #NorthPineDam #TrailLife #HikingFitness #YoungcareMunga-ThirriSimpsonDesertChallenge Video available here: https://gopro.com/v/7b83910d-3911-4ed7-a873-546b958f66f9

Training Hike #2 - Araucaria Track

Wednesday 9th Sep

Sunshine, fresh air, and unexpected wildlife encounters ✨☀️ Explored the Araucaria Track at Enoggera Reservoir and was lucky enough to see turtles, ducks, and a vibrant king parrot along the way. Days like this are good for the soul. 💚🌿🐢🦆🦜 #EnoggeraReservoir #AraucariaTrack #TrekTraining #Youngcare #MungaThirriSimpsonDesertChallenge

Training Hike #1 - Morelia Walking Trail

Wednesday 9th Sep

🌵🏃‍♀️ The adventure starts now! 🏃‍♀️🌵 I've officially started training for the 2027 Munga-Thirri Simpson Desert Challenge! 🎉 Last weekend’s training session took me along the beautiful Morelia Walking Track in D’Aguilar National Park. Plenty of hills, lush rainforest, incredible views, and a reminder that every step taken now is preparing me for the red sands of the Simpson Desert. 💪🥾 From mountain trails to desert dunes, it's going to be an amazing journey and I'm excited to share it with you all along the way!
