The annual 24 Hour Row is set to return on 12 to 13 September, raising funds for Gotcha4Life, a foundation established by Beaches local Gus Worland to inspire and enable people to build their mental fitness.
The event is a challenge where teams row in a relay for 24 hours, at locations including surf clubs, gyms, schools, community halls and homes.
Started by Avalon Beach couple Mel and Nathan Wellings nine years ago, the event has raised more than $1.5 million for Gotcha4Life. The funds are used by the charity to support the ongoing delivery of preventative mental fitness programs in schools, community groups and sports clubs across Australia. These initiatives help to equip people with the tools to strengthen relationships and to reach out when faced with challenges.
