Calling our emergency services friends and family to join us as we Run as One. Together we will run or cycle between response locations in our region to raise awareness for the mental health of Emergency Service Workers. The event will take place over 7 days, from 7th of April to the 13th of April, with the final day being a community walk from Mooroopna to Shepparton. We have a goal of raising $20,000, with all proceeds being donated to our partner organisation “Code 9”. Code 9 provides immediate emergency welfare to current and veteran professional first responders and their family. Code 9 provide support, advice, and guidance to members in critical need of assistance. They fund and coordinate the provision of assistance dogs to mentally injured first responders. Meals are supplied to members in need, along with house cleaning, garden maintenance, grocery vouchers and other assistance as required.

The Wild Sows are back and bigger than ever for the Never Late Fe-Mail Postie Bike Ride in 2025 with 5 new team members! We are riding our postie bikes 800kms over 4 days in the Never Late Fe-Mail Postie Bike Ride, raising vital funds for Wings4Kidz. Wings4Kidz provide specialist free air service for children in rural and regional communities to access medical appointments, helping to alleviate the burden of long distance travel and time away from their families in the most difficult of times. The difference Wings4Kidz have made to so many families with sick children living in rural and remote areas is just extraordinary and we know there are so many other families that would benefit from their work, but they need more funding to make that happen. So please support Wings4Kidz by donating to our CrowdRaiser, as we know they will appreciate every cent received. And we will be very grateful for your contribution too! We would also be very grateful for you to share the link to this CrowdRaiser page to your friends and family. The more people who can help the better! Thank you, Renae, Monique, Kylie, Kristy, Gertie, Katie, Amanda & Racheal

Morgane, Christophe and Sebastien are taking part in the Adventure Race Japan 2025 to raise money for a close cause - Mission to Seafarers! About Mission to Seafarers: Over 90% of world trade is carried by sea, providing work to 1.89 million seafarers. Shipping is a truly international industry: in today’s global market, you might have a Greek-owned vessel, registered in Malta, with officers from India and a mixed crew from Thailand, Indonesia, Vanuatu, and the Philippines. Shipping provides people with many opportunities: to see the world and to work in a job where you know you’re making a difference. However, it is also one of the world’s most dangerous occupations, with piracy, shipwrecks, and abandonment just some of the threats seafarers face. Mental health issues affect many seafarers, but their volunteers and chaplains are there to provide emotional and spiritual support, whether that’s on board or at their Seafarers Centres. Their Mission is to provide help for Seafarers when they need it most. About the race: We'll be participating in the Black Dragon Race of the Adventure Race Japan and aim to raise a minimum of 8000USD. The race is a multi-day, multi-discipline endurance event that tests participants' physical limits, teamwork skills and analytical skills through trail running and rogaining across the Izu Peninsula. Every donation, big or small, will make a difference. Please consider supporting our fundraising efforts for this important cause - and it's tax-detuctible! Also, we would be very grateful for you to share the link to this CrowdRaiser page to your friends and family. The more people who can help the better! Thank you so much!

On the 26th of March 2025, I'll be taking on the challenge of running the buffalostampede_au - an ultra-endurance race spanning 101km with 5,000 meters of elevation gain. I'm using this run to raising awareness and funds for Parkinsons disease. Parkinsons is the second most common neurological disease after dementia, affecting approximately 200,000 Australians. It's a devastating condition that profoundly impacts not only those living with it but also their families and loved ones. My family experienced this first-hand through my Nonna, Maria Dimasi, who battled Parkinsons for 25 years before her passing. Sadly, I never had the chance to see her in full health, but through my mums recent stories I've come to understand just how remarkable a woman she was. She was a battler who I now draw strength from when tackling training or anything challenging in life. Any donations, no matter how big or small, are hugely appreciated and going to an amazing cause.

Dianna & Jules are raising funds for Wings 4 Kidz because we are inspired by the work this great charity does. This charity has no paid employees and runs through volunteers only but they have running costs. The difference they have made to so many people is just extraordinary and we know there are so many others that would benefit from their work. Sadly, this charity does not run on love and they need more funding to make that happen. Please support their work by donating to my CrowdRaiser, as I know they will appreciate every cent received. Jules and Dianna will also be very grateful for your contribution too! If you would like to share the link to this CrowdRaiser page to your friends and family please don't hesitate to do so. The more people who can help the better! Thank you in advance.

We're back for the third year of the Never Late Fe-mail Postie Bike Ride! This year, we’ll spend four days riding our Postie bikes through regional towns to raise awareness and funds for Wings4Kidz—a cause that’s very close to our hearts. Wings4Kidz is a registered charity dedicated to easing the burden of travel for families with children needing medical treatment. They provide free air and ground transportation, ensuring children get to their appointments quickly, safely, and with their loved ones by their side. With the help of a fully operational aircraft piloted by skilled volunteers, long and exhausting journeys are transformed into quick, stress-free flights. What once took days now takes mere hours, allowing families to focus on what truly matters—being together and supporting their child through recovery. But Wings4Kidz can’t do this without your support. Please consider donating and sharing this page. Rest assured, every dollar you contribute will go directly to helping families in need. Thank you for your support! Vroom Vroom, Di, Joanne, Michele, Donna, Hannah, Lou, Mel and Mel x

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!

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

Having a sick kid is hard at the best of times, so if we can help to alleviate the added stress of driving hours to appointments, paying for accomodation and juggling all that is needed when going to such appointments, we will. We will spend 4 days in April, riding our postie bikes through regional towns to raise awareness and money for Wings4kidz, a charity that provides free air and ground transport to sick kids and their families. It is a cause very close to our hearts. Anything you can spare to give will be greatly appreciated. Thanks for supporting us, Kelley, Anna, Julie, Heather & Sheree :) Follow us on FB to share our ride!!!

Help Wings4Kidz Soar! For families in regional areas, the road to medical treatment for a sick child is often long, lonely, and exhausting. Whether it's a child in need of heart treatment, cancer care, or specialized surgery, these families face the overwhelming challenge of traveling hours—sometimes days—just to reach the medical care their child desperately needs This year, we will be hitting the road on a Postie Bike to raise funds for Wings4Kidz. Wings4Kidz is registered charity dedicated to lessening the burdens of travel for these families, providing free air and ground transportation to ensure children get to their treatments safely, quickly, and with their loved ones by their side. A fully operational aircraft, piloted by highly skilled and dedicated volunteers, helps these families by turning long, grueling journeys into much shorter, less stressful flights. What used to take days of travel now takes only hours, if that, allowing families to focus on what really matters—being together and helping their child heal. But Wings4Kidz can’t do this without your support. Each flight represents a lifeline for a family going through one of the toughest times of their lives. The money raised through events such as the 2025 Never Late Fe-Mail Postie Bike Ride goes directly to keeping planes in the air—ensuring that they can continue to provide this essential service, free of charge, to families who need it the most. Every cent makes a difference. Together, we can make the long road to recovery a little shorter for families facing unimaginable challenges. Every mile flown brings hope. Every donation is a step toward healing. Thank you for helping Wings4Kidz soar. 🕊️ - Wingz, Wheelz & Wine (Beck, Jenny, Cassie, Kristie, Ellen, Georgia and Lily)
