The Human Race

I'm fundraising for Australian Red Cross

I’ve joined The Human Race, a challenge that acts for humanity by supporting the work of Australian Red Cross. 

In view of the many many disasters in Australia and across the world - recently with the devastating earthquake in Turkey and Syria, this is a small gesture to support the work of Red Cross at home and abroad. I am going to Tap dance 26Km =44,000 steps 

No one should have to face a crisis alone. Extreme weather events and emergencies won’t stop, and neither will I. When you support my efforts in The Human Race, you’ll be making sure that Red Cross can be there for vulnerable people and communities when it matters most.

Thank you for supporting me.

Monday 13th Feb
Thank you to all my sponsors. I am about to reach my target of $2000. Hopefully I can get more sponsors to go above that. Every bit of donation helps make a difference to people facing crisis. I am humbled.

Thank you to all my sponsors to date

Friday 10th Feb
I am absolutely overwhelmed by the generosity of my sponsors who donated to date. Having raised over $600, it is good to know that with $500 it's enough to run an Emergency Operations Centre to coordinate volunteers during time of crisis.
Thank you to you all who donated to support me!
