Take part in the Champions Challenge
Champions Challenge is the brainchild of a group of mates who wanted to challenge themselves and make a real and positive impact to the lives of children with autism, and their families.
Champions Challenge will see teams of four undertake a tough physical and mental challenge, as they embark upon a one-day hike through a rugged terrain circuit starting at Mt Beerburrum via Tunbubudla, Tibbiroowuccum and Tibrogargan and finishing at Beerburrum. 100% of the funds raised will be donated to our charity partners the AEIOU Foundation & Fight4Balance to help children with autism live their best lives.

We are one team
All trekkers must be behind trek leader and in front of rear trek leader, the pace is a team controlled with an average pace of ~ 4.0km per hour. Remember it is not about your abilities, it is about the team’s ability overall.
Remember, this event trek is not a race! It is physically testing, but an empowering journey that recognises the support that Team Jacob and their Charity Partners give to children with autism to live their best lives.

With your help, we can support children and youth with autism and their families, giving them access to programs and practical support. Together, we can help children and youth with autism live their best lives.
