Meet Olivia Molly Rogers
Introducing Olivia Molly Rogers, Australian Red Cross ambassador for The Human Race. Olivia is currently based in Naarm (Melbourne) Country, Australia. She took out the title of Miss Universe Australia in 2017 and is a dedicated mental health advocate, using her platform to facilitate discussions about mental health issues to help reduce stigma and encourage other young Australians to speak up and seek support.
Olivia's commitment to fostering positive change aligns seamlessly with our commitment to provide practical and emotional support to people and communities impacted by crisis. Join her in The Human Race, where every step and every dollar raised let’s people who are struggling know that no matter the crisis, no matter how hard the challenges, they are not alone.
Who will you race for?
Across Australia, the rising cost of living is hitting hard, and many are struggling to get by as they face hardships they never expected. As the climate crisis worsens and disasters become more frequent, it is getting even tougher for vulnerable people and communities to put food on the table and a roof over their heads. Your support is crucial in enabling Australian Red Cross to provide practical and emotional support to those impacted by these crises.
We can’t do what we do without people like you.
With your support, we can go wherever the needs are greatest. Together, we have the chance to make a difference. Together, we can let people who are struggling know they are not alone. No matter the crisis. No matter how hard the challenges.
Sign up and show your support today! Join #TheHumanRace2024. The only race where everyone wins.
