Challenge to support youths on again

July 24, 2021 BY

LifeChanger is a preventative mental health and wellbeing program that empowers young people to live thriving, resilient lives.

The LifeChanger Foundation runs community programs to directly engage and support youth, building more thriving, resilient young people.

LifeChanger is a preventative mental health and wellbeing program that empowers young people to live thriving, resilient, lives.

It exists because suicide remains the leading cause of death for young people aged between 15-24 years of age.

LifeChanger believes these statistics are preventable through early intervention programs that help build self esteem and awareness, positive self identity and resilience.

LifeChanger’s hugely successful community event, the KM’S4KIDS virtual challenge is back again, bringing our community together to support youth.

KM’S4KIDS is a 21-day virtual health and wellbeing event that challenges you to clock up the km’s for kids! Go solo or join a team, to raise awareness and funds to support youth and LifeChanger programs.

It is 21 days to create change for you and for young people.

LifeChanger CEO and founder Scott Watters invites everyone to rally around youth and also support their wellbeing.

“The KM’S4KIDS event rallies community together around our young people and also around health and wellbeing.

It’s hard to think that there are any bigger priorities than both of these given the challenges all families have been facing over the last 12 months,” he said.

“Look after yourself and our youth by getting involved.”

KM’S4KIDS engages with participants daily by providing motivating health and wellbeing key messages from inspiring LifeChanger’s ambassadors like Nutrigrain Ironman/woman athletes Ali Day and Courtney Hancock, comedian Dave Thornton and legendary musician James Morrison to name a few.

The virtual challenge kicks off on September 1 and runs for 21 days allowing each participant to run, walk, ride, swim, paddle, etc. as many kilometres as possible and raise funds throughout the challenge.

Funds raised help the LifeChanger Foundation empower young people to thrive and live resilient lives.

Come and join KM’S4KIDS as an individual or a team and join groups like Repco, Cotton On Foundation, ANZ, Macquarie Bank, Crusader Caravans, Westpac and many more.
