Beyond Blue
Over three million people in Australia are living with depression or anxiety and an average of nine people take their own lives each day.
Beyond Blueโs vision is for all people in Australia to achieve their best possible mental health. Itโs thanks to the generosity of people like you that we can keep our Support Service running 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. This phone and online service is staffed by mental health professionals and provides life-saving support to hundreds of people every day. With your support, we will also continue to innovate and deliver new services and programs that reduce stigma and encourage people to speak up in times of need.
Join #TeamBeyondBlue and help us answer every call. Raise $50 and you can receive a FREE Proudly Supporting Beyond Blue training singlet to help you look the part!
Itโs easy to get started. Simply sign up for the event and create an online fundraising page. We then help guide and support you through the fundraising process, so you can spend more time focusing on your training! The #teambeyondblue community on social media will also serve up plenty of motivation.
The funds and awareness you will raise will help us enormously to support people to protect their mental health and reduce peopleโs experience of stigma and discrimination and improve peopleโs opportunities to get effective support and services at the right time.
Together we can make a real difference to the lives of people affected by anxiety, depression and suicide.

Running for Premature Babies
26,000 babies are born prematurely each year, with many relying on cutting edge neonatal equipment to survive.
Running for Premature Babies provides life-saving neonatal equipment to hospitals around Australia, giving critically ill and premature babies a better chance of survival.
The charity was founded in memory of baby triplets Henry, Jasper and Evan Smith who were born in 2006 and were cared for in Neonatal Intensive Care (NICU) but tragically did not survive their premature birth. To date almost $7 million has been raised, funding neonatal equipment such as humidicribs and ventilators to hospitals Australia wide, including the Monash Childrenโs Hospital NICU which cares for the sickest babies from all over Victoria.
Join us to celebrate a survivor of prematurity, to honour a baby who has died, or simply to support a cause that will make a tangible difference to hundreds of families in Victoria and around Australia.
Youโll receive a free Running for Premature Babies running singlet when you raise $200. Youโll get to experience the incredible camaraderie of our team and will feel amazing crossing the line knowing youโve helped save the lives of sick and premature babies.
