MORE than 120 businesses and 4000 participants are walking Australia’s coastline as part of LifeChanger’s KM’s4KIDS challenge, and there’s still time to join the virtual tribe.

LifeChanger Foundation’s mission is to help build thriving, resilient young people with skills and strategies needed to navigate through life’s challenges. The KM’s4Kids initiative raises money to deliver programs which will support young people within communities nationally.
Participants can virtually run, walk, swim, paddle or cycle Australia’s breathtaking coastline with organisers saying uptake and challenge participation had been overwhelming.

“From the moment we started promoting the challenge within our network, to today – it has grown exponentially. People can register today and join in,” LifeChanger spokesperson Katarina Heath said.
“We have some large organisations involved in the challenge – including GPC / Repco, Bevilles, Crusader Caravans, Cotton On Foundation, ANZ, Westpac, Macquarie, Carlisle Homes, Porter Davis, BWX, Melbourne United, Auckland Huskies to name a few.”

KM’S4KIDS provides participants with an opportunity to stay connected teams and loved ones during these unprecedented times, look after mental and physical health, have some fun and build morale and receive motivational, inspirational advice and support from the amazing LifeChanger Ambassadors.
“The strongest predictor of a long life is connection, social interaction and relationships, it supersedes all other factors like exercise, alcohol, weight, etc. so if you haven’t registered yet, now is the time,” LifeChanger founder Scott Watters said.
Participants have just passed the halfway mark with and have raised more than $120,000 of the foundation’s $200,000 goal. The challenge wraps up on September 15.
