This August, our community came together for 9 FOR 9 – and what a journey it’s been! 💙
Every day, fundraisers carved out 9 minutes for their wellbeing. Some wrote in journals, some moved their bodies, others plunged into icy water. Different activities, but the same purpose: to honour the 9 Australians who die by su***de every single day, and to take action to change that number.
What started as a simple commitment became something bigger – a movement of people looking after themselves while raising vital funds for young Australians. Together, you raised $14,702 (and counting!), enough to empower nearly 500 young people through preventative mental health programs. That means hundreds more students hearing real stories, breaking down stigma, and knowing it’s okay to reach out for support. 🐘
This campaign wouldn’t be what it is without the support from those who believe in it deeply. To everyone who participated, donated, cheered or showed up, a heartfelt thank you to YOU! Your drive has helped this community grow stronger every year.
9 FOR 9 is more than a challenge – it’s proof of what we can achieve together when we choose hope, connection, and action. 💙
