All this is only possible thanks to our generous partners. But the offer is valid only for TODAY, so we’ve got to make it count.

🎁 $100 becomes $200
Donate here: https://give.lifeedqld.org.au

Why is today so important? There are 30,000 reasons – because that’s the number of notifications the Department of Child Safety receives every year.

And many more children are suffering abuse and neglect in silence.

These kids desperately need someone to stand up for them. Today, we all have the chance to do just that.

Every $30 raised will provide our essential Safe Kids, Safe Bodies program to one child, helping keep them safe from abuse.

The more funds we raise, the more vulnerable children we can reach together.
We’re aiming to raise an ambitious $75,000.
But it will only be possible with your help!

Did you participate in this year's Healthy Harold Hundred?

Say hello to one of Harold's champions, Cassie from the Gold Coast 👋

Cassie signed up to run 100ks in June to help stop bullying. As a alumni, it was a no-brainer for Cassie to get on board for the cause.

"Who doesn’t know and love Healthy Harold? I remember being so excited, year on year, when I would see the Life Ed van parked on the school oval. It was always a highlight! If these programs are implemented in the same positive way I remember, then I have no doubt they will be effective," says Cassie.

Cassie has always been passionate about combatting bullying and saw this challenge as way to contribute in some way to help put an end to it.

"Cyberbullying occurs daily and at an alarming rate. Click on any post online and you can find evidence of this. Until people are educated to realise the impact that their words can have on people, the issue will only progress."

How are we all feeling with less than three days to go for the challenge?! 😱

We're feeling pretty great over here at HQ. The extra steps out in the sunshine have helped some of us find routine again for exercise or just taking time out of the day to recharge while enjoying the outdoors.

Research shows that regular physical activity can:

😁 help you feel more confident, happy and relaxed, with improved self-esteem
🏃 encourage healthy growth and development of your body
🧠 improve your concentration skills and ability to manage anxiety and stress
🤝 help you to develop skills such as cooperation and teamwork, and is a great way to have fun, meet new people and develop friendships
👍 help you to become more motivated and organised.

Did you catch 'The Hideaway Team' from Great Keppel Island in Central Queensland Today last week?

The Great Keppel Island Hideaway team signed on for the challenge, after Tamara, a Yeppoon resident and the island’s bar and bistro supervisor, heard about the month-long challenge and urged her work mates to sign on and take a stand against bullying.

“I remember Healthy Harold and the Life Ed program from when I was a kid,” Tamara says.

“Our team on Keppel is very active and they try to stay fit, so I said, ‘Hey guys! You want to jump on board?’ And it went from there. Now the dive hut guys are involved and several managers.”

Who are these little legends? 🤔

They’ve called themselves the Five 4s – five energetic Year 4 students from West Moreton Anglican College Official who’ve taken on this year’s challenge with gusto.

The students decided to join the challenge to help boost awareness about bullying and violence in the wider community and help raise funds for Life Ed Qld's respectful relationships programs in schools across Queensland.

“Joining the Healthy Harold Hundred means we can help make a difference,” says Bailey, one of the students in the team.

“An anti-bullying prevention campaign can help to change so many lives. As a group of Year 4 students, we wanted to raise money to increase awareness and help teach others that bullying is not okay.”
