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

The thought of walking the Simpson Desert for 9 days and over 230 kms terrifies me......but so would the thought of living with a severe and complex permanent disability in an institution or inappropriate home without dignity, choice and control. 

While supporting Youngcare on the Trek I will be experiencing what it is like to be uncomfortable and isolated for just a short period of time. Young people with permanent physical disabilities can feel like this all the time. 

Personally, with 2 young children who are fit and healthy, I want to demonstrate to them how important it is that we advocate and support people with complex and permanent disability in our community. 

Please donate to my page and show your support or send me a message to: tlambert@youngcare.com.au if you would like to help further by donating prizes or items that could be used in a charity auction.
