"The Postie Dash is a week that me, my Dad, and my brother look forward to every year. The trails we take and friendship between the Dashers is already enough to keep us coming back, and seeing the excitement on the kids faces when we pull up to a small country school is just icing on the cake."

The Difference You'll Make
Thanks to fundraisers, like our dedicated Dashers, we can help ensure that all children across Australia have access to the same opportunities regardless of ability or circumstance.
The work we do gives children the opportunity to improve mobility, gain freedom and get involved in their community, where they can better communicate, achieve independence and increase their self-esteem.
