Sponsor a Hero: Change a Child’s Life

You can support those competing in the Lifestart Kayak for Kids event on Sunday 30th March. If you can’t personally be there to kayak from Manly to Blues Point you can still show your support by sponsoring one of our heroes.

Just go to Everyday Hero and choose a team or individual to support. Remember, a few dollars from you can make a lifetime of difference for the kids.
