Hi, our names are Abby, Macy, and Lulu. As part of our school community project, we have chosen to raise money and awareness for mental health. Our goal is to help break the stigma surrounding mental health and promote positive mental and physical wellbeing. This initiative encourages open conversations, physical activity, and community connection. Participants can choose when to complete their 5km walk or run each week, allowing for flexibility and inclusivity.

We chose this goal because mental health remains a significant yet often overlooked issue in our society. This project is personal to us, as mental health affects everyone differently—whether through our own experiences or those of family and friends. We believe that by taking action, we can show support and make a real difference in raising awareness and educating people on how to get support for their mental health.

To further our impact, all funds raised will be donated to Beyond Blue, a trusted and independent not-for-profit mental health organisation supported by the Australian Federal Government. Beyond Blue provides vital support and resources to people affected by anxiety, depression, and suicide.

Our aim is to raise $1500 over these 4 weeks.
