What started as a friendly bet became weeks of trek training, a COVID lockdown and subsequent event postponement, a huge mental battle to keep up our momentum, and a total THIRTEEN weeks of training... But the last hurdle - the real challenge, the gruelling 10-hour trek itself - is now just days away.

Thank you to everyone who’s sponsored me so far: together, WE’VE RAISED ALMOST $1,400 for some pretty incredible kiddos 👏 👏 👏

I couldn't be more grateful for all of your support.

11 July, on the Kokoda Track at Mt Coot-tha. What. Have. I. Done.

It started as a gamble by a colleague: "I'll do Champions Challenge if Steph does."

Little ol' me: known by my team for various antics (squash, walks, bouldering), but much better known for the time I broke two toes kicking a pole at a fitness class... (If you know, you know. 😏)

This photo, taken in our third week of training, shows the mess I've got myself into of going all in on this bet. Lucky AEIOU is worth it.

27 June: the day we started training for the Champions Challenge. I'll be real, it was a slog. I panted and puffed. I wondered who made me do this.

The Champions Challenge is something I never foresaw myself undertaking. But I suppose most families don't foresee the challenges they'll face in raising a child with autism either.

At AEIOU, families find a team who helps their child, scaffolds their learning and walks alongside them.

Yep, I remember who I'm doing this for now.
