Help Melissa raise money

For participating in RAV Virtual Team Challenge 2025

My Story…

Hey everyone, thanks for taking the time to read this. I'm once again participating in the Run Against Violence. As almost everyone knows I lost my dear sister Kristy to Domestic Violence so this event holds a special spot in my heart. If anyone has been to the ralleys for Violence against women you would have heard about Run Against Violence.

I am definitely not fit these days so this will be a nice personal challenge also.

Description

Help give young Australians access to healthy relationship education.

During the 2025 RAV Virtual Team Challenge, 100% of donations made via registration and fundraising pages will go directly to NAPCAN, funding facilitator training, program adaptations, and the implementation of program delivery systems. Donations over $2 are 100% tax-deductible.

Run Against Violence has partnered with the National Association for Prevention of Child Abuse and Neglect (NAPCAN) to ensure that every Australian teenager has access to high-quality, respectful relationship education. 

Love Bites is Australia’s premier program, and over the past five years, Run Against Violence has invested $500,000 in its national expansion. This is the largest investment by a non-government entity in the program's history. As a result of this investment, 1,068 program facilitators have been trained across 360 local government areas in Australia, with 70% located in regional, rural, and remote communities.
