I'm taking part in the Sit Up Challenge - and I need your support!
This May, I’m taking on the Sit-Up Challenge to celebrate 75 years of the Endeavour Foundation and raise funds for people with disability.
Every sit-up I do and every dollar raised isn’t just about fitness, it’s about continuing a legacy. For 75 years, the Endeavour Foundation has been creating opportunities, breaking down barriers, and helping people with disability live their best lives.
Your support will help fund vital services, technology, and programs that help people with disability to be seen today and for the next 75 years.
Please join me in keeping this legacy strong. Every contribution, big or small, makes a real difference.
Thank you for helping me make every sit-up count, and for supporting a movement that has changed lives for decades.

My Updates
Tomorrow, 1 May 2026, the formal sit‑up challenge begins.
Thursday 30th Apr
To be clear: I have not been sitting around waiting for it. I’ve been training. And my abs have opinions about that decision.
I’ve been easing into sit‑ups through April, starting small and steadily building. Some days it’s been 25, some days 50, some days 75… and a couple of days where I bravely wrote “100” and then questioned all my life choices afterwards. Even if you can’t see the abs yet, I can absolutely feel them. Especially when I sneeze. Or laugh. Or exist.
Because I want to be able to keep going for the whole challenge (and not end up with a single heroic mound of abdominal muscle and nothing else), I’ve been mixing things up with other core exercises and most reliably; the walking.
Walking is my consistent strength.
It’s good for the heart, good for the head, and good for showing up day after day.
Throughout April I’ve been logging long river walks, racking up thousands of steps and kilometres, sometimes in daylight, sometimes at night with the city lit up around me. These walks are where the challenge actually lives for me; consistency, movement, and reminding myself why I started.
And sometimes I get company.
If you see a photo of birds in a pram, yes those are my walking companions (inside that pram). They come along for the journey, utterly unimpressed by sit‑ups but very committed to staying involved. I like to think they’re cheering me on. Or judging my form. Possibly both.
Training hasn’t been glamorous. It’s been real.
Alternating sit‑ups with other core work.
Walking even when my abs are loudly protesting.
Balancing effort with recovery so I don’t burn out before the official start line.
So as May kicks off, this is where I’m at:
- Sit‑ups are happening.
- Walking remains non‑negotiable.
- Progress is measured in effort, not aesthetics.
- And yes, I am briefly entertaining the idea of balancing a bird on my head while doing sit‑ups later this month, just to keep things interesting.
Thank you to everyone who’s already donated, encouraged, or followed along. Your support genuinely helps when my abs are yelling and my motivation needs a nudge.
May has arrived.
Let’s do this, one sit‑up (and one walk) at a time.
