12th July 2026 is the date for the JUMP!

SAVE THE DATE! 

This is the date I jump into the cold waters of Gunnamatta Bay with fellow SOA Flinders committee members and SOA athletes :)

I’m freezin’ for a reason in 2026!

This year, I’m taking the plunge - literally. I’m jumping into icy water at Gunnamatta Bay, 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 and thank you for your support.
