I'm fundraising for leadership in the NT!
This May, I’m taking on the Leadership on Larapinta FUNdraising Walk, trekking 100km through the stunning Larapinta Trail to raise funds for a Central Australian leader to participate in the Australian Rural Leadership Program (ARLP).
The ARLP is a life-changing 15-month leadership program that builds skills, confidence, and networks for leaders in rural, regional, and remote Australia. But not everyone has access to a scholarship, which is why I’m stepping up to help fund one.
🎯 My goal is to raise $2,500, contributing to our shared goal of $55,000 to fully fund a scholarship. 100% of funds go directly to the scholarship.
💙 Please support me by donating today! Every contribution makes a difference.

Welcome
Tuesday 18th MarHi everyone, I’m Jess Wingad, checking in from beautiful Bunurong Country in Bayside Melbourne. In just a few months, I’ll be swapping the city streets for the rugged Larapinta Trail, trekking 80km as part of the 2025 Leadership on Larapinta FUNdraising Walk.
We’re raising $55,000 to fund a scholarship for an emerging Northern Territory leader to participate in the Australian Rural Leadership Program (ARLP). This cause is close to my heart because, like leadership, this walk will have its challenges and speed humps—but with the right support, guidance, and teamwork, anything is possible.
I wouldn’t be where I am today without the mentors and support I’ve had along my leadership journey, and now it’s my turn to give back. That’s why I’m proud to support the Australian Rural Leadership Foundation, knowing that 100% of the money raised goes directly to the scholarship.
Wish me luck (and not too many blisters!), and if you can, please donate—every bit helps support the future leaders of the Territory!
