LifeChanger’s KM4KIDS is back for another year \u2013 bigger and better than ever!<\/p>\n

A 21-day health and wellbeing challenge where individuals and teams clock up as many KM4KIDS as they can \u2013 any way they can \u2013 whilst raising awareness and support for today’s youth.<\/p>\n

Never has there been a more challenging time for young people.<\/p>\n

The numbers are staggering, with four out of five young Australian’s having experienced mental health issues and with seven out of 10 high school students reporting high psychological distress, over the past two years.<\/p>\n

It’s also alarming that 29 per cent of primary school students experienced anxiety, with this increasing to 44 per cent in secondary students.<\/p>\n

This is not good enough. We need to provide them with the tools, strategies and experiences to navigate life’s challenges.<\/p>\n

LifeChanger is a preventative mental health and wellbeing non-profit that empowers young people to live thriving, resilient lives by developing their social, emotional and resilience skills and by building connections in their community.<\/p>\n

In 2022, LifeChanger is working with over 4,000 young people within the Geelong, Bellarine, Surf Coast region and our aim is to double this number next year.<\/p>\n

KM4KIDS is a great opportunity to support youth and kickstart your health and wellbeing journey by walking, running, riding, swimming, paddling as many kilometers as possible over 21 days in order to create positive change for young people.<\/p>\n

Plus, during the challenge all participants will receive daily motivational health and wellbeing tips from our amazing LifeChanger Ambassadors and community.<\/p>\n

The 21-day challenge starts on September 1.<\/p>\n

REGISTER FOR FREE<\/a> today and help us to raise awareness and support for young people.<\/p>\n

Young people are absolutely amazing.<\/p>\n

With your support, LifeChanger can continue to help them develop the tools to navigate life, be empowered to overcome challenges and pursue their infinite potential.<\/p>\n

Infinite Possibilities, Scott and The LifeChanger team<\/p>\n
