Team Dylan

We're fundraising for Cerebral Palsy Alliance


At 11 years old, Dylan is always up for a challenge, and he’s determined to conquer Mount Kosciuszko to prove that he can do something truly unbelievable - especially to those who might assume he can’t. As an advocate for cerebral palsy awareness at his school, Dylan quietly raises awareness, even though most people don’t know he has a disability. 

Dylan is super social and loves trying out all kinds of sports, but his absolute favourite is NRL. Weekends are spent cheering on his beloved Newcastle Knights and his hero, fullback Kalyn Ponga. Dylan admires Ponga’s strength and tenacity, and watching him on the field inspires Dylan to give everything a go, no matter the odds. 

When he’s not watching the footy, Dylan enjoys relaxing with a movie and sushi, surrounded by family and friends. His dream holiday? A trip to Disney World, where he hopes to meet all his favourite characters.
