Sunday 27th April, 2025. 8am – 2pm.
The Vale Tudo Move4Mates Fitness Challenge is more than just a workout – it’s a powerful day of fun, fitness, and mateship, all for an incredible cause.
With a live DJ, refreshing drinks, a high-energy team challenge and mouthwatering food, this inaugural event will bring together participants, supporters and the community in a one-of-a-kind, high impact fundraiser.
Why Move4Mates?
When a child is diagnosed with a life-threatening illness, life changes in an instant. Hospitals replace homes. Routines vanish. The future becomes uncertain. Families are overwhelmed, exhausted and often feel isolated.
That’s where Mates on a Mission (MOAM) steps in — to provide not just support, but something even more powerful: joy, escape and memories that last a lifetime.
From dream holidays and local adventures to magical moments that bring families together, your fundraising helps us create experiences that offer hope, healing and happiness when it’s needed most.
“We will forever be so so so grateful for what everyone at Mates on a Mission has done for our family, and allowing us to spend quality time with our boy Cohen, and having our family together for much needed time to make some beautiful memories.” – Jessica Best
Make Every Movement Count for Kids Who Need it Most
Every movement you make. Every kilometre you run. Every dollar you raise. It all helps bring joy, hope and unforgettable moments to children facing life-threatening illnesses.
This isn’t just a fitness challenge – it’s a movement to make a difference.
“Honestly, it was the first time since Spence has been diagnosed that we just got to be the four of us, and it was perfect. We laughed, we cried, we ate, we drank, and we cherished every minute. Thank you doesn’t seem enough. You are amazing and your charity is phenomenal.” – Louise Farley
