On September 1st, four extraordinary women set out to attempt a fundraiser that has never been attempted in Australia before. These four brave women are raising money for mental health and travelling from school to school to teach about "Mental Fitness".

On September 23rd, this past Tuesday, Louise, Sonia, Anna, and Rach pulled into Prescott Primary Northern on their trip from Perth to Sydney on Australia's only quad tandem bike. Our entire school assembled on the basketball court to watch them ride in and talk to us about the Gotchya4Life foundation.

Founded by Gus Worland, Gotcha4Life's mission is to build mental fitness and create a world where no one worries alone. The Ride4Life girls' goal is to raise a whopping $500,000 for this fantastic charity, and they've committed to riding over 4,000 kilometres over 6 weeks. That's about 120km a day! The Girls shared with our students strategies and ways to fortify their minds against thoughts of sadness and loneliness. Encouraging new ways to lean on friends and discover safe people they can talk to when they're feeling down. A proactive approach can help prevent these feelings from growing into something more consuming and harder to control.

To support the Ride4Life gang, we sold delicious Zooper Doopers for $2 to all of our willing students. I'm proud to announce that the students of Prescott Primary Northern raised $564 in support of the Ride4Life team, which will go towards the Gotcha4Life foundation.
