My Story…
This is a cause close to my heart, so please help raise awareness and funding to support education of domestic violence in schools. The Run Against Violence Challenge commenced in 2017 with Kirrily Dear who ran solo from Broken Hill to Sydney. This took her 19 days to complete. The cause? “To give a voice to the often silent victims of family violence.” The route from Broken Hill to Sydney is 1300kms, this distance roughly equates to 1.7 million steps and is the estimated number of Australians who experienced physical abuse before the age of 15. The money raised assists in training and implementing the Love Bites Programs in schools to ensure young Australians are provided the tools to build respectful relationships.
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.
