Why Am I Fundraising
I have decided to fundraise for an amazing organisation called Catherine Hamlin Fistula Foundation. The foundation supports the important work of Dr Catherine Hamlin AC, a pioneering Australian surgeon who committed her life to helping women in Ethiopia with devastating childbirth injuries. In Ethiopia, around 50% of women experience childbirth without medical care. Many women sustain horrific childbirth injuries like obstetric fistula, which leave them incontinent. They are often abandoned by their families and communities and hide away in shame and isolation. I am travelling to Ethiopia as part of a self-funded Hamlin Ethiopian Adventure to see first-hand the incredible work of Hamlin Fistula Ethiopia. As part of my commitment, I am fundraising to directly help provide life-changing surgery and rehabilitation to women. Please donate so women can receive the treatment and loving care they urgently need to regain their lives. Thank you for your support!

Absolutely blown away at the generosity of people this afternoon. We held a bake sale in our office building. The team baked cupcakes and we visited all the offices and told the story of Catherine Hamlin and why we were raising money. We raised $439 in total :-). Thank you to my beautiful team for baking and helping sell them :-)

Exciting and scary! This is something i have wanted to do for about 7 years now and finally in 2026 i will be going to Ethiopia with the Catherine Hamlin Foundation. Look out for updates of my fundraising plan to raise $4000 before i go on this trip for the foundation. Any extra bit helps so please dig deep and support this cause
