Our current fundraiser events

Challenge Against Climate Change

The Challenge Against Climate Change is a dynamic fundraising initiative led by Earthwatch Australia ambassador Shaan Boolell. It brings together people from all walks of life to take on personal challenges—whether it’s a half marathon, a 100km multi day run, a beach clean-up, or any activity that inspires you!

In partnership with Earthwatch Australia, Shaan aims to motivate individuals to push their limits for a cause that truly matters. Through the power of collective action, we can create real, lasting change for our planet.

This year, our fundraisers are stepping up with challenges ranging from a 5km fun run to a 21.1Km half marathon!

Every dollar raised supports real science and conservation efforts that safeguard the future of our planet.

We’re two kids who care deeply about our planet. We’re running 5km as part of the Melbourne Marathon Festival to support the amazing work Earthwatch does. Earthwatch is helping protect our future by running programs that teach young people like us about the environment and how to care for it. We’d love your support!
