My target 2643 kms
I’ve taken on a challenge to Do it for Heart!
Why not make it a Guinness World Record!?! I'll end up taking my Stand Up Paddleboard the length of The Murray River, and along the way, lapping the three lakes of Hume, Mulwala and Alexandrina for a total somewhere between 2600km and 3000km depending on conditions.
I survived an unexpected triple-bypass open heart surgery in mid-2020. After recovering through a gruelling rehab, I set my sights on raising awareness and funds for all forms of cardiac illness, care and education. I also swore I would say "yes" to more adventure in my life.
I’m passionate about saving Australian Hearts and I need your help to create change. That’s why I’m fundraising for the Heart Foundation – and I hope you’ll support me in this.
Heart disease remains Australia’s biggest killer, claiming 48 lives every day. Your donation will help the Heart Foundation to transform Australia’s heart health by:
-
Funding life-changing heart research
-
Supporting health professionals working to prevent, diagnose and treat heart disease
-
Providing heart-healthy programs and resources for everyday Australians.
Please make a donation today, click the donate button. Every donation, big or small will help me get closer to my goal.
All donations over $2 are tax deductible and you’ll get a receipt by email as soon as you make your donation
Thank you for your support.

From telling us all about your plans on 6th Jan to now reaching the finish line, you have been amazing. My 74 year old cousin just died from a massive heart attack with no previous signs, so great message for everyone to get a heart check or at least visit the Doctor. Enjoy a rest when you get home.
