beneficiaries
By supporting the 2010 Upstream 50km Challenge, you can make a tremendous difference for any of these five terrific projects:
 | Camp QualityFunds raised will be bringing optimism and happiness to the lives of children and families affected by cancer through fun therapy programs. Camp Quality are convinced that caring for children affected by cancer goes beyond medication and the Family Camp Program plays a crucial role in bringing optimism and happiness to families. |
| The Leukaemia FoundationFunds raised will assist Leukaemia Foundation to expand their transport program that offers patients and their families a comfortable, safe and stress-free means of getting to hospital for their treatment. The transport program ensures that patients remain clear of public transport, therefore minimising the chance of common infections. This service is vital as the immune system of patients receiving chemotherapy is often extremely low, making them vulnerable to infection. |
| Entrust FoundationTrapped in a cycle of poverty for many generations, there are 250 million Dalits in India. Also known as "Untouchables" they have asked us to help educate their children. The slave trade was banned 200 years ago, but sadly is still in existence today. Daily discrimination, bonded labour, sexual abuse, child workers, no access to education and a lower pay scale, all combine to shape life for those born as Dalits. Money raised by the Upstream 50km Challenge will go towards building a Dalit school in India. This school will continue to provide an education for many years to come. |
| Leprosy Mission AustraliaFunds raised will help empower people affected by leprosy to live with dignity by providing suitable housing, fresh drinking water, water for agricultural purposes, income generation programs and basic education for children in Nigeria. |
 | Samaritan’s PurseTurn on the Tap for Cambodians! Funds raised will support Samaritans Purse efforts to give safe water to a community of people in Cambodia by providing essential water filters and community wells for villages. Turn on the Tap is a global campaign launched by Samaritan's Purse to provided access to safe water for communities in Asia and Africa. |
| Shared FundsShared funds will be distributed between Camp Quality, Leukaemia Foundation and Entrust Foundation. |
