Our BIG Challenge to help children in need!
This MARCH we are taking on The Smith Family Challenge 2025! We will run, mountain bike, kayak and navigate our way through the bush, over mountains and up rivers to complete the course.
Over 2 days we'll cover more than 100km!!
It's going to be tough but the effort will be 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! (and wish us luck!)
So far this year, our team has helped provide:
91
School Essentials Packs
22
reading buddies and books
25
children with their education
