Go the Extra Mile and Focus on the Family Australia Team Up
3-Jan-2012


We're getting geared up for the next Melbourne Go the Extra Mile event to be held on May 5, 2012.

We'll be switching tack for this upcoming walk and targetting our efforts on what is a staggering national tragedy - teenage suicide. While our previous efforts have contributed funding toward overseas aid & welfare services, we felt it was time to look at supporting a local issue that is affecting families all across our country.

We've teamed up with the Christian agency, Focus on the Family Australia, to target the growing issue of teen suicide.

Focus have been working with families & their school aged kids providing expert training and evidence based programs for the past decade. They tackle some of the most challenging social issues including binge drinking, drugs, pornography, depression, bullying and teenage sexuality head on.

We're excited that we can provide support to Focus as they strive to make real a difference in the lives of young people and their families.

We look forward to some happy walking for 2012.
