Story

Hi there!

I am going to walk the Simpson Desert Challenge in May/ June 2019 this covers 9 days, 250km, climbing more than 1000 sand dunes for Youngcare.  It's the ultimate Australian Adventure Challenge the trek will be a physical and mental challenge but it will have a profound impact on the lives of young people with high care needs and their loved ones. The completely isolated environment provides a striking reflection of the challenges that young people with high care needs face on a daily basis. 

I'm making a difference by fundraising for a cause that's close to our hearts. Please support my efforts by making a secure online donation and by posting a message of support.

Donations made through this platform are secure and will be remitted directly through to Youngcare my charity of choice. 

If you are an EY employee or another workplace with matched giving through Good2Give, please be sure to select 'Donate from your Pay' option above. 

Thanks so much for your support!

Warm regards

Mair

 =========================================

Due to unforeseen personal circumstances I was unable to complete the walk but the Youngcare trekkers did complete the walk and we have raised a significant amount of funds.  I completely understand if you would like a refund to the donation please let either myself know or Belinda Macintosh at Youngcare and we will process immediately.


Thanks for all your support and I hope to continue to support Youngcare in many other capacities.


Warm regards 

Mair

Youngcare

Suitable and appropriate supported housing is one of the greatest areas of unmet need for people with disabilities in Australia. Currently, there are thousands of young people being left behind in aged care, hospital rooms, rehabilitation centres – institutionalised accommodation – simply because there is nowhere else for them to go. Youngcare is a not-for-profit organisation creating choice and independence for young people with high care needs by providing fully accessible and age-appropriate living spaces, grants for equipment, home modifications and support through a national phone line. Youngcare is boldly tackling this national issue by acting as the conduit for industry, government and community to work together to bring much-needed change to the disability housing sector. Together we are creating a future where every young person has the freedom and choice to live the young lives we all deserve. Youngcare’s Grants programs bridge the gaps, by funding not only ‘reasonable and necessary’ disability items and services but those that provide further choice, independence and quality of life for young people with high care needs. www.youngcare.com.au
