I am competing in my first Ironman 70.3 to support my mother and other sufferers with Dementia in NZ.

Auckland

At the start of November 2024, I will be taking part in my first Ironman 70.3 (Melbourne) to raise funds and awareness for early onset dementia. This is inspired by my incredible mum, who is bravely living with both Lewy Body Dementia and Parkinson's.

Recently she showcased her vulnerability and strength on the TV show "The Restaurant That Makes Mistakes"*, reminding us all of the power of resilience her and the other volunteers have while bringing early onset dementia into the spotlight.

Your support can make a real difference in the lives of those affected by dementia. Every donation helps fund vital support and services for families like ours and others across New Zealand through the Young Onset Dementia Collective (YODC).

On average, fundraisers pay just 2% to use Givealittle. This is one of the lowest effective fees in New Zealand fundraising. We charge a 5% platform fee to cover the cost of running the platform. Because most donors choose to top up their donation to cover this fee, the effective cost paid by fundraisers is about 2%. That means around 98 cents of every dollar raised goes to the cause.
