My Story

I feel very lucky to be part of the Making Waves team, and to have been selected for the 2026 Sydney to Hobart race (alongside my wife, Sanne).

In the 2+ years that I've been volunteering at Making Waves, I've been able to see what a difference being out on the water can make to the young people that we take out.  They grow in confidence, work as a team, and learn a few new skills along the way.  Most of all though - they have fun!

Sometimes their parents come out too - and watching them watch their children have the time of their young lives is something that is deeply moving, and hard to describe.

The young people are all so inspiring.  We volunteers learn from them too, including a long list of "Dad" jokes that they love telling me are better than my joke!

So if you can - please donate to Making Waves to help us keep doing what we do.

Can't wait to do it all again - most excitingly with you. We will, once again, have an adventure of a lifetime together. I've done one without you - but in general I couldn't do it without you! Also, thanks to the Making Waves Foundation team for providing such an amazing opportunity to all of us!
Thanks my Love - I'm just trying to keep up with you! xxx

Thanks Sis - it's good to know that my NOK is also my first donation! We'll be stopping by at your house for a pre-race Christmas dinner.
