Challenge yourself

Taking on a fundraising challenge for youth mental health is your chance to do something bold, meaningful — and a little bit fun — all while making a real difference.

Time to challenge yourself

It’s not just about raising money (though that’s a big part of it!); it’s about pushing yourself for a cause that matters.

Whether you're running a marathon, swimming every day for a month, giving up your favourite treat, climbing a mountain, or setting a personal reading goal, your challenge becomes a powerful way to show solidarity with young people facing challenges with their mental health. 

Plus, it's a great excuse to set a goal, rally your friends and family behind you, and do something you'll be proud of. You’ll be surprised how motivating it can be to know that every kilometre, craving, or chapter read is helping fund vital services that support young people when they need it most.

So go on — challenge yourself, inspire others, and help change lives along the way.

Row for youth mental health

This year the Royal Freshwater Bay Yacht Club took on the challenge of rowing on the world stage and travelled to the Stranraer SkiffieWorlds 2025 in Scotland. They wanted to make the most of this incredible opportunity and raise awareness and funds for youth mental health through the championships. The team had a great time in Scotland, got to meet Skiffie enthusiasts from around the world and raised over $20,000 in the process. Thank you Royal Freshwater Bay Yacht Club!
