Leopold’s Jess Davey will participate in an excellent opportunity to help raise money for an important charity.
As a participant on the Australian television travel show Adventure All Stars, Ms Davey will undertake a six-day journey to a mystery location and raise money for her chosen charity.
Ms Davey said she looked forward to helping the Kids Foundation keep children safe.
“Part of our role and position with Adventure All Stars is we have to raise $10,000 for a charity of our choice and then as sort of a reward, you get cast on this show,” she said.
“I’m interested in raising the funds for the Kids Foundation, that is the most important thing and I see the adventure itself as a bonus.”
Ms Davey said the money raised would go towards assisting the foundation in running camps for young people recovering from the recent Australian bushfires.
“All of us strive to have some purpose in life,” she said.
“My goal is to help the community but also show everyone that no matter who you are or what you’re doing, you can create purpose in your life.”
Ms Davey said she had already raised $250 for the Kids Foundation and had 10 months to reach the $10,000 goal. She also said she was proud to be able to assist the not-for-profit organisation.
“When I was in high school, I contributed a lot to the local community, and after I left high school, I didn’t feel like I had an avenue to do that sort of thing anymore,” she said.
“I’m really looking forward to giving back to the community in some way shape or form.”
