Desert Trek Challenge for YOUNGCARE
To physically and mentally trek 230km over 9 days in one of the world's most demanding environments will be a challenge!
Endless sand dunes, scorching desert sun and isolation will be conditions that will remove my freedom of choice... no showers, comfortable bed, or luxuries...
This will provide a striking reflection of the challenges that young people with high physical support needs face on a daily basis.
I'm inviting you to join me on this journey to make a difference. Every step I take, will be one step closer to building quality specialist disability homes, providing grants and creating choice, independence and dignity for young people with complex physical disabilities.
My genuine passion for the trek, raising funds and advocacy, comes from being a Registered Nurse, a proud Youngcare Board Director, personal connection and experiencing surgery, exclusion and rehabilitation from a significant leg injury.(years ago and fully recovered!)
Your donation will directly impact the lives of young people with high care needs.
Youngcare is a national not-for-profit revolutionising the way young people with high care disability live-with freedom, dignity and choice.
