I'm fundraising for a great cause!

G'day Everybody! - '24hrs For a Purpose' is back and we are taking on our unique 24hr physical challenge with the 'PURPOSE' to fundraise for R U OK? aiming to spread their message and help prevent suicide, and start conversations about mental health illness. 

Team Members: TBA! - Keep an eye out for our updated participants list.

But firstly, some confronting Statistics:

- Everyday in Australia we lose 8-9 people to suicide.

 - Every Year approx. 3000 Australians take their lives through Suicide.

 - For every death, it’s estimated another 30+ people will attempt suicide.

- 45% of Australians will experience a mental health illness in their lifetime.

 - 15% of Australians will experience Depression in their lifetime.

- in 2020 Suicide was the 15th highest cause of death within Australia.

 We want to help change these numbers.

 Our 'Team Physical Challenge' will consist of:

- 42 pushups, 42 sit-ups, 42 squats

- 1.6km run, 1.6km row, 1.6km bike

This workout will be completed 8 times, with a leg completed every 3 hrs for 24hrs!! This figure represents 1 round for every Australian lost each day.

 Hopefully by inspiring people to take the time to ask, “Are you OK?” and listen, we can help people who are struggling with life to feel connected long before they even think about suicide.

Thank you so much for your support, together we will make a difference!
