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 Fight4Balance and a yet to be announced new partner to help children and youth 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.

Your efforts can make a big impact

Autism is not rare. More than one in 100 Australians are diagnosed with autism, making it one of the most common disabilities affecting young children in our country.

For more than a decade Team Jacob has raised funds to support the AEIOU Foundation to deliver their early intervention program helping autistic kids live their best lives and in many cases enabling them to enter mainstream schools. Devastatingly in March this year they had to shut their doors emphasizing the financial challenges involved and why our efforts are so necessary. 

At Team Jacob we support organisations that advance the education, employment, health and wellbeing of families working through the challenges of autism. We continue to support Fight4Balance who are committed to improving the lived experiences of youth with functional and intellectual disabilities (such as autism) through structured physical activity and inclusive fitness programs. We also recognise that Autistic Australians face one of the lowest employment rates of any disability group, despite many having strong skills. Team Jacob are in the process of reviewing opportunities to support organisations working in this space. 

With your help, we can assist 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.
