Hi, I’m Heath Thorpe — an Australian gymnast chasing a lifelong dream: competing at the 2026 Commonwealth Games. After years of hard work, competitions, adversities, and triumphs, I’m determined to represent Australia on one of the biggest stages in sport come July next year.

But getting there isn’t easy. As an athlete in a largely self-funded sport, I cover the costs of training, physio, equipment, recovery, and travel - all while pushing my body and mind to the limit. Your donations will help cover essential expenses including upcoming benchmark international competitions (for example, the 2025 World University Games, with an estimated cost of $4,500 AUD + flights), as well as medical, recovery, and equipment costs that are critical to keeping me in peak condition.

Every dollar donated through this page is 100% tax deductible and brings me closer to wearing the green and gold proudly for Australia in Glasgow next year. Whether you donate or simply share this page, your support means the world. Let’s make this dream a reality - together!

Thank you so much for believing in me. 💛💚

I’m excited to be part of the Aussie Athlete Fund’s Million Dollar Challenge. This initiative connects 100 Aussie athletes with businesses, each working to raise $10,000 — all driving toward a shared goal of $1 million to support our sporting journeys.

Many of us depend on fundraising to proudly represent Australia around the world. Thanks to the leadership of 5-time Olympian Nat Cook OAM, the $1 Million Challenge is helping us push past these barriers and chase our sporting dreams.
