I'm so lucky that my kids are being brought up in a loving, encouraging and supportive family home.

Unfortunately, not all kids have this opportunity, so I am raising money for the Whitelion charity to help support underprivileged and at risk kids.

To raise money I have committed to completing the 3 peaks hike in March.

The aim is to reach the summit of three mountains in two days.

Mt Bogong (VIC), Mt Kosciuszko (NSW – highest mountain in Australia) and Mt Tennent (ACT), all on foot and crossing state borders to make it happen.

Whitelion is a community organisation committed to helping at-risk youth in Australia, assisting them to break the cycle of disadvantage and giving them the courage to grow. Since 1999, Whitelion has been working with some of the most vulnerable and disengaged young people in our community. Disengagement causes these young people lose their connections with the community, drop out of school, move into harmful pathways, and get stuck in a cycle of disadvantage.

I'd love it if you could support me in this event, and give a little to support kids who need it.

Cheers
Brendan
