We need you!
The Lifestart Foundation is looking for adventurous, fun people who love to try something new and support a very worthy cause at the same time. If you are interested in culture, Vietnam, children, education or just awesome activities, this event IS for you, your friends, family, children and colleagues. This is a perfect event as a gift for Mum for Mothers' Day!
We need some help with fundraising too and ask that event participants set up a fundraising page via the Everyday Hero link you will be sent -
once you register your team for the event.
We're also looking for corporate sponsorship - compassionate businesses that would like to help us give children in Vietnam a dream for their future, and at the same time, benefit from promotion and advertising to the event participants and our broad supporter base.
Full details of registering, fundraising and sponsorship are below, but in summary, there are SEVEN fantastic ways you can help us:
1) Registering a team (or teams) for our Adventure Race as soon as you possibly can -

Fundraising & Educational Scholarships
We hope teams will fundraise to help Lifestart Foundation provide educational scholarships in the Quang Nam province of Vietnam. If you individually, a team or group of teams is able to raise $2,500 AUS then this funding can be used to provide a seven year educational scholarship for a child in Vietnam.
By granting a Seven Year Education Scholarship to the poorest and brightest students in Grade six we allow these students to DREAM. To dream of a future, career and possibly to attend University, ultimately breaking the poverty cycle for themselves and their family. If you'd like to find out about our first two seven year educational scholarship students please read my blog on
