Organised by Mates on a MissionThe 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. Our goal is to raise $50,000 to gift experiences to kids facing life-threatening illnesses.
Vale Tudo - Move for Mates Fitness Challenge · 27 April 2025 ·
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 only support, but something even more powerful: joy, escape and memories that will 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.
Teams consisting of 6 wildly fit individuals will compete across 4 fitness stations for over 180 minutes (3 hrs) straight, all while enjoying an exciting festival-like atmosphere.
The aim is for each team to burn as many calories as possible in 3 hrs, with the winning team being crowned with the inaugural Move4Mates title.
Every movement made, every kilometre run and every dollar raised, all helps to 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
Every dollar raised through the Vale Tudo Move4Mates Fitness Challenge goes directly to giving families something money can’t usually buy - time together, laughter and joy in the middle of life's toughest battles.
Our goal is to raise $50,000 - much needed funds to help give as many deserving kids as possible the best gift of all - precious time together with their family and loved ones.
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
While hospitals focus on physical treatment, Mates on a Mission focuses on something just as important – treating the human spirit. We help bring families joy. We gift them beautiful memories to treasure forever. We give families light during the darkest of times.
However, none of this is possible without your support.
This challenge is about mateship, movement and meaning. It’s a chance to be part of something powerful.
Together, we can show these families that they’re not alone. Together, we can create moments that matter. Together, we can Move4Mates.
