I’ve always been a bit of a wild child at heart. The African bush is where I feel most at peace, surrounded by nature, wildlife, and the incredible beauty of our natural world. Lions, in particular, remind me of the importance of strength, courage, and balance.

As much as I love planning weddings and bringing dream celebrations to life, they remind me that it’s just as important to step back, reconnect with nature, and find balance in life.

So, when I accepted the challenge of spending a night in a kennel for the SPCA Sleepathon on 15 August, I knew I wanted to bring a little of my adventurous spirit along – although I’m keeping my kennel décor a closely guarded secret until judging is over!

While one night in a kennel may be a fun challenge for us, it’s the daily reality for many animals waiting for a second chance. By supporting my Sleepathon, you’ll be helping the SPCA continue their vital work of rescuing, caring for, and rehoming animals in need. Every donation, no matter the size, will make a meaningful difference. Together, we can help give these deserving animals the love and future they deserve.
