Stanford Brown is raising funds for the Kookaburra Kids Foundation Limited, which supports children aged 8-18 living in families impacted by mental illness. A charity that ‘walks the walk and talks the talk’. Kookaburra Kids provides direct support and helps to empower young people to go beyond the impacts of family mental illness. Founded by Dianne Madden, who identified a lack of support for children living in a family affected by mental illness, Kookaburra Kids set out to provide the following initiatives: Offer respite to the children. Offer camps where the children are mentored away from the disruption of what can sometimes be described as a chaotic family life due to mental illness. Provide the children with the opportunity to mix with other children who share a similar family story. At Stanford Brown, we understand that mental health can affect your well-being at any age. Acknowledging the mental health of these children and the situations they face while also offering support for them is important to us. The difference Kookaburra Kids Foundation has made to so many people is extraordinary, and we know many others would benefit from their work. But they need more funding to make that happen. So please support their work by donating to our CrowdRaiser. We know they will appreciate every cent received, and we will be very grateful for your contribution, too! Thank you Stanford Brown

I am raising funds for One Meal - an incredible food charity in Sydney run by 900 amazing volunteers which now, due to a sudden change in rental costs, urgently needs financial help to continue to operate. On May 17th, I'll be attempting the world-famous UTA100, a 100km (including 4,500m of elevation!) ultramarathon in the Blue Mountains near Sydney. God help me! Apart from a few minutes stopping to refuel I'll be out on the trail for around 18hrs, plenty of it by head torch, probably with temps just over freezing and who knows what rain, sleet, snow will conspire to take me down. This is the mountains after all! Most people shake their heads and ask 'Why?' Well, my best answer is 'So that you'll sponsor me? 😁😁'? Your financial support for One Meal will keep me going so please give whatever you can Thank you Dave

The Lions Licola Wilderness Village exists mainly to support disadvantaged kids and those with special needs, which it does through special camps. The Lions Club of Licola Wilderness Village was formed primarily to support the activities of this village. At the end of April 2025 we are holding a special run to raise money to support these camps, and to enable more of them to be held. In this way we can support many more children by giving them a wonderful experience. These camps absolutely transform the lives of these very special kids, and your support is greatly appreciated. Sari-Elle Kraemer, a Lion from Coogee in Sydney will be our runner. In 2024 she completed the world's highest marathon - the Everest Marathon - to raise money for the Australian Lions Foundation. Since visiting Licola Village as a volunteer at a Lions-Sponsored Camp for 8-11 year old children, she saw first hand the wonderful effect the camps have on children. She enthusiastically volunteered to complete the run from Licola to Traralgon via Heyfield in support of special needs children. Please give us your support.

After decades of writing and campaigning Auntie Vickie is now in palliative care for serious respiratory and other health issues.

In April 2025, I will be riding the Munda Biddi in southwest WA, the longest point to point off-road bike trail in the world, covering over 1000km in 10 days of solo riding. As a proud Australian Defence Force member of 18+ years and a dog lover, I am hoping to use this physical challenge as an opportunity to raise funds and awareness for Defence Community Dogs. Defence Community Dogs train rescued and rehomed dogs with low security inmates (under the guide of professional dog trainers) to become assistance dogs, and gift them at no cost, to ADF Veterans suffering from depressive, mood and anxiety conditions, including PTSD. Share this CrowdRaiser page to help raise awareness amongst your friends and family. The more people who can help the better!

This Challenge is designed to push ordinary people like me to our physical and mental limits.

For the 12th year in a row, a number of our Volunteers will be giving up their very comfortable beds to spend a cold, winters night trying to sleep in a Kennel at APS. They will be sharing a kennel with the resident APS dog to raise funds for APS to help them to continue the work they do saving Dogs & Cats in need and making sure that the animals in our care get everything they need until we can find them an amazing Furever Home. Many of our Team will be doing this for the 12th year and will Team up with one of our Woofs to do this. Our Woofs wants you to know that this is their favourite night of the year and are so proud that they can raise funds to help their Buddies in need. The demand for our services has never been higher, every day we are inundated with calls for surrenders and calls from local pounds asking us to help animals that they do not want to have to euthanise. Please help us to make a difference? All donations over $2 are tax deductible and will make a massive difference to an animal currently sitting in a pound hoping for a lifeline. Please consider sponsoring Team Woof?

A generous supporter of WA Seabird Rescue will match fund any donation made between now and the end of the financial year (30th June) up to $5,000. This could potentially bring up to $10,000 of funding for WA Seabird Rescue to help us to continue our vision of rescuing and rehabilitating WA Seabirds. With up to 2,000 rescues a year, this funding is critical, allowing us to respond to each rescue with the correct equipment. It can also help in providing our home carers with the necessary support to rehabilitate and release our wonderful WA birds. Any donation over $2 is tax deductible thanks to our ACNC status. Thanks! Matt Watson President, WA Seabird Rescue
