Robbie is going solo, so Western Australians do not go hungry

A swimmer with purpose

Robbie is an elite Perth based swimmer who competes internationally for Bahrain. He has been swimming competitively since he was 9 and has already achieved impressive results, including 12th in the 10 km Hong Kong World Cup and 2nd overall in the 10 km at the Australian National Open Water Championships. Last year he was part of the winning team in the Rottnest Channel Swim.

This year Robbie is taking on his biggest challenge yet. He is entering Champions of the Channel and tackling the Rottnest Channel Swim solo for the first time. To prepare, he trains 9 swim sessions and 2 gym sessions each week. It is a huge physical and mental test, and he wants it to mean something for people doing it tough.

Why Robbie is swimming for Foodbank WA

For Robbie, this swim is about more than the finish line. He has always wanted to help those in need and believes every Australian should have access to basic necessities like food. He believes no one should go hungry. We share that belief.

We provide food and groceries to people who struggle to afford them. We deliver nutrition education and advocate for those who experience hunger and food insecurity. More than 353,000 Western Australians are going without regular meals. It should not be this way. Support from people like Robbie helps us reach more families, more individuals and more communities that need a hand.

Turn Robbie’s determination into real impact

Robbie is using his solo crossing to raise funds for Foodbank WA through his personal social media and a dedicated fundraising page. Every dollar raised will help us provide more nutritious food to people who are doing it tough.

You can turn his training and determination into real impact.
