My family has been sponsoring a child through The Smith Family for two years now.
For the last three years I also volunteer as a Mentor in the iTrack program.
For my 50th Birthday in 2021, I am circumnavigating Australia on a motorcycle in 50 days.
That's 15,000kms on Highway 1, five of us over 50 days to celebrate 50 years of living.
For the trip, I’ve decided to fundraise in support of The Smith Family to make a difference to the lives of Australian children living in poverty. The Smith Family helps disadvantaged young Australians to succeed at school, so they can create better futures for themselves – which I am so passionate about. By supporting my fundraiser today, you will help change the lives of children in need.
All donations over $2 are tax deductible and you will receive a tax receipt via email.
Thank you so much for supporting us!
Thank you to my Sponsors

You rock RB! As I read this story there’s dust in my eyes and fire in my heart. At 44 I gotta kick into gear for a target for 50. I’m not coasting I promise but I sure am a different person than I was when I was 32 when I met you, so I’m due a reinvention and if anyone can spark that, it’s you!
