ANOTHER YEAR DONE
Final donation paid
As 2019 closes The Hope Challenge would like to let everyone know that the final payment of $10,000 has been donated to Black Dog Institute.
This means a total of $75,000 has been donated over the past three Hope Challenge events.
A fantastic effort of fund-raising but, maybe most important of all, a welcome reminder to all those living with mental health issues that they are never alone.
This awesome community event brought to you by the people of West Pymble and lots of other supporters:

A small community
making a big difference
In a small suburb of Sydney, the suicide of two well-known and liked members was too much to bear. They decided to do something about it.
The disbelief, the awkward conversations, the incredulity and the overwhelming sadness people feel when they hear of a friend, colleague or neighbour who has gone down the path of taking their own life.
It can be difficult to comprehend. It can be confronting to your own understanding of mental health disorders and how they can affect anyone at anytime.
It can also be a time to decide to do something about it, no matter how small: join in and make a start.
FUN, REMEMBRANCE, EDUCATION, UNDERSTANDING, COMPASSION, SUPPORT, FUNDRAISING - THE HOPE CHALLENGE
Just beginning
On this website you can learn all about The Hope Challenge and how you can be a part of it.
But this is only the beginning.
The Hope Challenge is a social enterprise set up originally to raise funds through its one event for the Black Dog Institute. But as it continues it will become much more.
Through the desire of one small community to make a difference, the need to do more is expanding The Hope Challenge's charter.
From the individual to the group, from the corporate to the educational: keep watching.
