I am turning half a century old on New Year's Day. To mark this milestone, I've chosen to celebrate by supporting the Royal Brisbane & Women's Hospital through a fundraising campaign for the RBWH Foundation.
As some of you know, I recently fell seriously ill in October and narrowly avoided sepsis. I am deeply grateful to the incredible health professionals—the true angels—who cared for me and helped me through such a frightening ordeal.
If you’d like to give a gift, please consider making a donation to the RBWH Foundation. Every contribution to my fundraising page will help advance life-saving research and improve patient care at the Royal Brisbane & Women’s Hospital.
Just click “Donate” to make a secure online contribution and help me reach my goal. No matter the size, every donation makes a difference. Donations over $2 are tax-deductible, and you’ll receive a receipt by email straight away.
Thank you—and let’s celebrate life together! 💛
