Fitness February Fundraiser

Fitness February Fundraiser (FFF) is an initiative by Pathhaven Disability Care, a support service dedicated to empowering people with disability to live meaningful, independent and connected lives.

This year we are proudly supporting Got Your Back Sista, a Newcastle-based charity helping women and children escape domestic violence and rebuild their lives. They provide safe housing, practical support, furniture, food and essentials for families starting over. They also run programs that build confidence, skills and independence so women can thrive beyond violence.

Throughout February, a team of five Pathhaven staff will work together to complete a combined 20 kilometres every single day. Some team members will run, some will walk, and all will be challenging themselves to keep moving, stay healthy and support the community.

We created this fundraiser for three reasons:

To give back – We are raising funds for a charity that makes a real difference in people’s lives.

To promote health and wellbeing – Movement is powerful for both physical and mental health, and we want to lead by example.

To build connection – By involving local businesses, supporters, families and participants, we strengthen our community.

February has 28 days, so we are inviting 28 businesses to sponsor a day for $100 per day. On each sponsored day, we will complete our kilometres and post a thank-you video recognising that business. Additional donations from the public are also welcome, and Pathhaven will be adding milestone contribution bonuses throughout the challenge.

Every dollar raised helps us continue supporting individuals with disability, their families and the broader community. Thank you for being part of Fitness February Fundraiser and supporting this journey — your encouragement keeps us moving.
