Spring Challenge 2026

I'm challenging myself to....

I am taking on the Spring Challenge this October to support children and families at the Women’s and Children’s Hospital going through the toughest of times.  

Funds raised through my challenge will provide bereavement care and wraparound support to families in our community who are facing the heartbreak of losing a child.  

Thank you for supporting my Spring Challenge! 

My Updates

Continuing to ✅ off the lists.

Monday 19th Oct
I'm not going to lie, there are some items that will not become part of the regular meal  items.  I really am trying to try everything on the list and needless to say, there are a lot of items that are very obviously part of my life already.
I will endeavour to seek out the out of season or hard to obtain items. 
Wading through the seeds, legumes and GF alternatives is nothing compared to the grief and trauma that the Spring Challenge is raising awareness/funds for but my challenge is not meaningless, rather fact finding. 


One more obscure fruit ticked off✅

Monday 12th Oct
At the OzAsia festival one of the stalls had a GF Jackfruit and tofu Massaman Curry . 
Ticked that box, not in a hurry to source Jackfruit now. The curry and tofu vegetables was very tasty. 
Dinner with a salad continued the trend to increasing variety in my meals.

Cycle 4 Sam Coeliac Challenge

Thursday 1st Oct
I'm going to aim to improve the variety of GF foods in my diet. I am a coeliac who sticks to the basics and it's time to change.
Inspiration comes from the Coeliac Australia Eat the Rainbow 30 challenge but 30 didn't work with the 20 theme😉. 
Jack and Kanzi (the household food critics) will be my cheerleading canines. 
2birds with one stone- my GF friendly diet and WCH fundraising. 
Donate the cost of a cuppa before a hot beverage gets too expensive 🤨.
