I'm fundraising for...

This June, Beau and I are lacing up our joggers to take on the Healthy Harold Hundred. We’ve committed to covering at least 100km in 30 days. 

Bullying and violence is a growing issue for kids – in the playground and online. 1 in 4 Australian children are bullied every few weeks, and 1 in 5 kids experience cyberbullying. Schoolyard bullies are 4 times more likely to abuse their partners later in life. 

As a teacher, I have witnessed far too many children go through the heartache of being bullied. It really is a tough one to tackle 😢 Not only does this impact the child’s social and emotional well-being, but can significantly impact their relationship with school and learning itself 💔 Along with this, I have witnessed the daily struggles and anxiety some friends and family have gone through sending their own children to school each day, when all they want to do want to do is cuddle them and take their pain away ☹️ It breaks our hearts to think that our own babies could be victims of bullying, so we are doing all we can to educate them from a young age, and hopefully one day, put an end to this 🛑 ✋🏼 Jump onto the link if you’d like to sponsor us, or even better, register yourself to join in on the challenge ❤️
