PCH Foundation- For Ayla
As many of you know, our youngest daughter Ayla has spent a significant amount of time at Perth Children’s Hospital this year. In August, we received the heartbreaking news that she had a brain tumour, which led to a brain biopsy, several MRIs, and an EEG scan, followed by a nerve-wracking wait for results. After months of uncertainty and frequent hospital visits, we were relieved to learn that no abnormal cells were found, no tumour was detected, and it’s not malignant. However, the doctors are still unsure what the exact issue is.
Ayla now requires regular visits to PCH every three months, where she undergoes MRIs under general anaesthesia to monitor her brain and ensure nothing has changed or is growing. This cause is especially close to my heart, as this year has brought some of the most challenging days of our lives.
To give back and support the incredible care Ayla has received, I’ve decided to co-host a fundraising event at the end of the year to raise money for the PCH Foundation. I would be so grateful if you could support us by attending or making a donation to this important cause. Your generosity means the world to us. Thank you so much. Details are below.
Event Description:
Step into the new year with a powerful journey of release, renewal, and resilience. Join us for a one-of-a-kind event featuring a functional gym workout, followed by a calming yoga session, and a refreshing ice bath—all in support of the PCH Foundation.
We all carry burdens—whether physical, emotional, or mental. As we close out the year, this is the perfect opportunity to let go of what no longer serves us, to release tension and stress, and to open ourselves up to healing and renewal. This end-of-year event is designed to help you let go of tension, release stress, and move forward with strength and clarity, both physically and mentally. The session will guide you through three transformative stages: a high-energy workout, a mindful yoga flow, and the challenge of an ice bath. Together, we'll embrace the power of release, surrender, and growth—all while raising vital funds for children in need.
Date & Time:

How It Works:
1. High-Energy Gym Workout:
Kicking off at 6.45am, PWR Fitness are hosting us on this open day and welcome members and non-members to join us! Start the day with an invigorating workout designed to challenge your body and mind. This full-body workout will focus on strength, conditioning, and endurance, setting the tone for your journey of release.
2. Yoga Session:
At 8am we are transitioning into a calming yoga flow with me designed to restore and rejuvenate. This practice will emphasize deep stretching, mindful breathing, and moving with intention to help you release any remaining tension. The yoga session is all about surrendering to the present moment, allowing your body to relax, and creating space for deep healing. This is where we let go of the stress we’ve built up this year, making room for peace and restoration.
3. Ice Bath Challenge:
The team from NWMV Official are joining us for the final stage of the event in a powerful ice bath experience. This is your opportunity to surrender to the cold and embrace a moment of discomfort to experience mental clarity, emotional release, and physical recovery. Ice baths have long been used by athletes to improve circulation and reduce inflammation, but they also offer a mental reset, helping you practice letting go of the past and moving forward with strength.
This unique combination of movement, breath, and challenge will leave you feeling grounded, energized, and empowered—ready to release the past and move forward with renewed strength.
