Time for Challenge 21 2023!

Let's go three for three!

For the third year in a row I am taking on a 21-day challenge to support patients who rely on the care of the Women’s and Children’s Health Network. This year my challenge is to fill a sketchbook with life drawings, based on what I see around me. To add to the challenge, I'm going to add some extra little challenges to keep me on my toes...

Your support could help to purchase state-of-the-art medical equipment, deliver our Laklinyeri Beach House Program, provide immediate emergency support to families in need, reduce distress and anxiety of patients through our extensive Arts in Health Program, and invest in vital medical research.

So come and join me as I continue my challenge of creative exploration, all the while supporting the wonderful work that the WCH Foundation does! :D

So far I have raised enough funds for*

186km's

of transport for vulnerable families to get to and from hospital

46 meals

for families experiencing financial hardship

14 sessions

with a Play Therapist to reduce stress and anxiety during their hospital stay

3 pumps

For a new mother to loan when feeding a premature baby

1 nights

at our Laklinyeri Beach House for families receiving end of life care for their child
*quantities are averages and are not measured as a collective

Progress Report

Thursday 19th Oct
Hi everybody! I hope you are well. Here is a rather late but nevertheless quick update to let you know where I'm at with my challenge.

To be honest, I've been struggling a bit - I am making progress but a slow pace, with a few factors getting in the way. However, I was heartened by being able to sit with colleagues in the sunshine yesterday, drawing what was around us during our lunch break. This is what's really cool about this type of challenge - it is so accessible and easy to share, regardless of ability! (If they ever read this, thank you so much for drawing with me!)

On a statistical front, I have achieved the following:
Pages: 21/48 (27 to go)
Funds Raised: $95/$500 ($405 to go)

With 27 pages to go, it means that I will be undertaking a fairly large sprint in the final days of this challenge...but that's okay! It only increases the determination. The next time I post, I hope to show you the sketchbook filled :)

Please take care of one another, and if you check back here in the coming week to see how I go! I also post updates on Instagram if you want more regular updates (@heybluehat). And if you like my challenge and decide to donate, thank you! I truly appreciate it - you are supporting an amazing cause.

Until next time,
Mel.
