In May this year I will take part in the Youngcare Simpson Desert Challenge – a 10 day, 300km trek through the geographical centre of the Simpson Desert to raise funds, and awareness for Youngcare.
I have started my general fitness training, and from January I will undergo a 4 month intensive training program to prepare me for the harsh physical, psychological and environmental challenges of the Simpson .
My challenge will be difficult, and it will be intense, but it will be short in comparison to the challenges faced all day, every day by thousands of young Australians who live their lives in, or under threat of entering aged care.
You can help by sponsoring me which in turn will assist Youngcare in:
• Building more relevant and age-appropriate housing – in Sydney and Brisbane
• Provide information and support via the Youngcare Connect service
• Provide Grants to keep young people, who are at a high risk of entering aged care, at home in the care of their loved ones.
• Undertake world first research to better understand the needs and wants of young Aussies with 24/7 care needs.
Your donation, big or small, will help make a profound impact on the lives of young Australians in desperate need.
