I am raising money to support the children of Hands Across the Water because I believe that all children deserve to build a future full of possibilities, opportunities and dreams - a life of choice, not chance.

Hands Across the Water [Hands] started as a charity in response to the Boxing Day Tsunami. Now we support 350+ children living in 7 homes and projects across Thailand. 

The kids who come to live in a Hands home are there because they have no choice. This is often the result of one of three heartbreaking situations:

  • They have no known family to care for them
  • They have a family member who is known to them, but is unable to care for them
  • They are living in an unsafe environment and have been placed in our care by the police or government

Hands not only provides the life-saving necessities for the kids in our homes, they also support many families in an outreach program to help keep kids out of our homes.

Just as important as filling their bellies with healthy food and providing a safe bed to sleep in, with the support of amazing donors like you, the vision of Hands is to help these kids see the opportunities that lie before them, to see a life of choice.

My hope is that you will make the choice to join me in this experience and help me reach my personal fundraising goal. Please make a donation today to support these children and provide them with a better future. 

Together we can truly make a difference - Donate now!

THE BEAST

Wednesday 16th Apr
They say it’s not about the bike 🚲… but this one’s testing the theory hard. Picked up an $80 hybrid mountain/street bike - rusty, clunky, and anything but sleek. But it’s my training partner for the next hundred kilometres in Victoria, as I gear up for the real challenge: 500km in 5 days through Thailand. 🇹🇭 

This isn’t about style points. It’s about grit. If I can grind through Melbourne tracks on this Beast, my proper bike overseas will feel like a dream.
Let’s see who taps out first, me, or the machine.  

Bright Summer Ride & Gym Grind

Sunday 13th Apr

Knocked out a 60km ride through Bright this summer—perfect conditions, tough hills, but worth every push. Been backing it up with gym sessions at Derrimut, focusing on weights and resistance bike training to build strength and endurance for the big 500km ride ahead. Feeling stronger each week—let’s go!
