From Life's Wipeouts to Turning the Tide for a Good Cause

A Little Lip Service for a Lot of Good! 💋🌊

This November, I'm joining a dream team of outstanding women, Gen, Marissa and Mary. We are Team Lip Service and will be competing in the Lifeline Surf Classic, raising funds for Lifeline Northern Beaches.

For me, this one is personal.

After a particularly challenging year of injuries, recovery and some unexpected curveballs, I'm incredibly grateful to finally be getting back on my feet (quite literally!) and back into the ocean.

Having my mobility taken away and being unable to do the things I love, particularly surfing, was incredibly difficult. The ocean has always been a place of freedom, happiness and perspective for me, and losing that outlet made me appreciate just how important it is to look after both our physical and mental wellbeing.

Life has a way of throwing challenges at us when we least expect them, and I've come to appreciate just how valuable connection, community and having someone to turn to can be. Sometimes, simply knowing support is there can make all the difference.

My knee is finally on the mend, and I'm keen to close out the year on a high! I'm stoked to be teaming up with three epic women, scratching into some waves, hopefully hitting that lip, having plenty of laughs and, most importantly, making a difference by supporting others in our local community.

🌅 Sunrise Boogie on the Beach — Coffee with a Cause! ☕💙

We're also bringing the community together for a Sunrise Boogie at Sunrise Cafe, Warriewood, on Friday 20 November, from 6:00 am to 7:30 am!

Think good tunes, ocean air, coffee, dancing and plenty of positive energy!

It's a sober, feel-good morning event celebrating connection, community and positive mental health through music, all while supporting Lifeline Northern Beaches.

And we've got a little fundraising challenge for you!

☕ Shout Lifeline a Drink — Skip a Drink, Make a Difference!

Instead of buying your favourite drink, why not donate the cost of one to Lifeline?

☕ $5 — Shout us a coffee

🍺 $10 — Shout us a beer

🍹 $15 — Shout us a cocktail

No alcohol needed, just good vibes, good music and celebrating a great cause! 🎶💙🌅

Whether you're joining us for a sunrise boogie or cheering us on from afar, every contribution makes a difference.

💙 Why We're Raising Funds

We're proudly taking part in the Lifeline Surf Classic to support Lifeline Northern Beaches, Mosman to Kirribilli and its local crisis support and suicide prevention services.

By donating to our fundraiser, you'll help ensure people experiencing crisis, isolation or distress have somewhere to turn and someone ready to listen.

If you can spare a few dollars to support Team Lip Service, we'd be incredibly grateful. Every contribution counts.

And let's be honest, my surfing could use all the support it can get too! 😂🏄‍♀️

Here's to resilience, connection and community — challenging myself in the surf while helping others navigate life's challenges. 🌊💙
