Story
Hello!
It's no secret I've been searching for the next adventure and chance to do something meaningful ever since I set foot back in Sydney from my South American sojourn. And then as I was walking home the other day, I found it staring me in the face. A chance to dress up in some ridiculous attire and abseil off the top of a 33 story building across the road from my office in a bid to make a difference in the lives of disadvantaged young people across Australia.... how could I not sign up?
I'm doing the easy bit... the 135m abseil (I'd say that's probably at least double the highest I've ever done before), but I need your help to do the important bit. To dig deep and support Sir David Martin Foundation's Triple Care Farm. The Farm is an award-winning rehab program for youth struggling with addiction, homelessness and mental illness.
- $20 - buys a student's art supplies to be used during art therapy
- $30 - buys an essential toiletries pack for new students, who mostly arrive with nothing
- $100 - covers weekly accommodation costs for a student
- $300 - buys a student a Suicide Prevention Counselling session
- $1500 - buys a scholarship to help a graduate get back to work or study through provision of materials, uniforms or payment of course fees
It's a truly great cause, giving youth in crisis the chance to turn their lives around. I'm sure, like me, many of you can think of people who would have benefited from access to a place like this.

Sir David Martin Foundation
Sir David Martin Foundation was set up in 1990 by the much loved Governor of New South Wales, Sir David Martin, four days prior to his death. The Foundation aims to realise the dream of Sir David Martin of an Australian community “where children can grow up in safety with hope and opportunity”. The Foundation raises funds for innovative and effective Mission Australia run youth crisis programs. We provide care, counselling, training and support for young people in crisis and foster community understanding of their needs and potential. With the goal to get more young people off the streets, away from unhealthy situations and into care and rehabilitation. We aim to encourage them in a new sense of self belief so that they can face the community at large without the need for drugs, crime and homelessness.
