Our BIG Challenge to help children in need!
This MARCH we are taking on The Smith Family Challenge 2024! We ran, mountain biked, paddled and navigated our way through the bush, over mountains and up rivers to complete the course.
Over 2 days we covered more than 100km!!
It was tough but the effort was all worth it so that kids in need can break the poverty cycle.
In Australia, 1 in 6 children are growing up in disadvantaged homes, where even the basics in life are hard to come by.
But supporting their education is the key to breaking the cycle of disadvantage.
Your donation will give children in need essentials like school books, bags, uniforms, shoes and the help they need to keep up at school.
Thanks for your support!
So far this year, our team has helped provide:
435
School Essentials Packs
106
reading buddies and books
120
children with their education

I think our recent training in Canada makes you a lock to win this year. I hope Robert Blackman doesn’t miss the event again; his attendance record is inconsistent over the years. Good luck to all.
