Mounties Group is proud to be the Impact Partner for this year’s STRYDE4 Day, an inspiring 8km Festival of Purpose that brings together communities, schools, and businesses to create meaningful social change. With Harbord Diggers hosting the finish line, the day will culminate in celebration, connection, and collective impact on Sydney’s iconic Northern Beaches.
Through this partnership, Mounties Group continues its commitment to supporting the wellbeing of families and communities, with proceeds and awareness raised benefiting key Mounties Group charity partners: Sydney Children’s Hospital Foundation, Gotcha4Life, CareFlight, Northern Beaches Women’s Shelter, CMcare and Little Wings.
Together, we are helping deliver life‑saving care, vital mental health support, and practical assistance to children, families, and communities when they need it most. STRYDE4 Day is about more than the walk, it’s about real people, real lives, and real impact, the Mounties way.

Funds raised through STRYDE4 Day will contribute to Gotcha4Life’s Mentally Fit Schools program, equipping students, families and teachers with practical mental fitness tools to manage life’s ups and downs.
Half of all mental health challenges begin before the age of 14*. If the future is going to change, prevention needs to start early, in primary schools
Gotcha4Life’s Mentally Fit Schools program helps schools embed mental fitness across their whole community. It teaches students, staff and families simple daily habits, consistent language and everyday practices that will equip the whole community with the tools for a mentally fit life.
Through the program, young people build their emotional muscles, strengthen connections and learn how to ask for help when they need it. Teachers and parents are supported with practical ways to model and reinforce these skills every day.
By backing this work, you’re helping young people and their community build their mental fitness skills needed for life.

Funds raised from STRYDE4 will support a “Critical Care Transport Missions” package, directly supporting Little Wings to deliver free flights and ground transport for seriously ill children living in rural and regional Australia. This funding would enable multiple return missions for families who need to travel long distances to access specialist treatment only available in major cities - reducing journeys that can take hours by road to just a short flight. Little Wings already supports thousands of children each year, completing over 2,300 missions and helping more than 5,000 children access care annually.
This is high-impact because it removes one of the biggest barriers to treatment - distance. By easing the financial, physical and emotional strain of constant travel, the program keeps families together and ensures children can access life-saving care safely and consistently. Every funded mission is immediate, tangible impact: a child getting to hospital, a parent by their side, and a family supported through one of the toughest periods of their lives.

Funds raised from STRYDE4 will support a “Rapid Response Lifesaving Missions” package, helping CareFlight deliver critical care when every minute counts. Their specialist doctors and nurses bring hospital-level treatment directly to accident scenes and remote communities via helicopters and aircraft - often where no immediate medical support exists. This funding could support multiple emergency retrieval missions or help keep a medical crew in the air, ready to respond 24/7.
This delivers urgent, life-saving care at the most critical moment. Every mission funded means faster treatment, better outcomes, and in many cases, the difference between life and death - ensuring people across Australia can access emergency care, no matter where they are.

At Bear Cottage, every moment matters. Supporting children with life-limiting conditions, Bear Cottage provides not only expert care but something just as important - time for families to be together. In a place filled with warmth, laughter and compassion, families can pause, connect, and create memories they will carry forever.
Funds raised through STRYDE4 help make these moments possible - through creative therapies, celebrations, shared experiences and respite stays that give families time to recharge. Every step, every dollar, and every share helps bring more joy, more connection, and more meaningful moments to families when they need it most.

The Northern Beaches Women’s Shelter runs a Wellness Program to support the physical, mental and emotional wellbeing of the women in their care, providing meaningful opportunities for healing, connection and confidence-building. Designed as an important part of each woman’s recovery journey, the program creates safe and supportive spaces where women can come together, build a sense of belonging, and gently reconnect with themselves and others.
Through activities such as yoga, Pilates, mindful walking, craft groups and sewing, women are not only supported in their wellbeing but are also given the chance to learn new skills, share experiences and form positive social connections.
