Supporting my dream 🙏

Basketball is my biggest passion and to be selected to represent NSW in the Special Olympics National Games is such a great honour and privilege way beyond my imagination. Family and friends your donation in supporting me as I undertake the Polar plunge to raise funds to enable me to go to Melbourne would be so greatly appreciated. Thank you from the bottom of my heart ❤️ 

I’m freezin’ for a reason!

This year, I’m taking the plunge - literally. I’m jumping into icy water as part of the Law Enforcement Torch Run’s Polar Plunge, raising funds for Special Olympics in Australia.

Why? Because every Australian deserves the opportunity to experience the joy, confidence and connection that sport brings.

Special Olympics Australia provides year-round sports training and competition for people with intellectual disability and/or autism. Through sport, athletes build skills, friendships, independence and belief in themselves - and that impact extends far beyond the playing field.

By supporting my Polar Plunge, you’re helping:

  • Fund inclusive sports programs across Australia
  • Provide coaching, equipment and competition opportunities
  • Create communities where everyone belongs
  • Break down barriers and build a more inclusive Australia

Yes, it will be cold … very cold. But it’ll be worth it!

If you can, please donate and help me reach my fundraising goal. Every dollar makes a difference.

Together, we’re freezin’ for a reason.
