Plunging in for the third time, because the cause is worth it.

Making Waves for the Third Year Running 🌊

Three years. Three nights in the pool. One reason that keeps me coming back: WA's toughest diseases don't take a break, so neither will I.

This November, I'm diving into Perkins Plunge 2026 for my third year, joining my relay team for 12 hours of overnight swimming to raise vital funds for medical research at the Harry Perkins Institute. When the rest of Perth is asleep, we'll be in the water, stroke after stroke, because the researchers we're supporting are working just as hard to find answers for the people we love.

For the past two years, your generosity has carried me through those long, cold hours. Every donation, every message of encouragement, and every person who stayed up to follow our progress reminded me why this matters. You didn't just support a swim. You helped fund real research into new treatments, uncovered vulnerabilities in the diseases that affect so many Western Australian families, and backed the next generation of scientists who will one day find the cures we so desperately need.

Diseases like cancer, heart disease, and diabetes touch almost all of us, whether through our own health or that of a parent, partner, friend, or child. It's easy to feel helpless in the face of that. But the Perkins Plunge is proof that ordinary people, doing something a little bit extraordinary, can be part of the solution.

So I'm asking you to jump in with me one more time. Whether it's $5 or $50, every dollar goes directly towards groundbreaking research right here in WA, and every donation brings us one stroke closer to a healthier future for all Western Australians.

Follow my progress through the night, cheer me on through the tough hours, and if you can, make a donation. Let's make this my biggest year yet.

Every dollar counts. Every stroke matters. Together, we can change lives.

Thank you for being part of this journey with me, for the third year and counting. 💙
