The 24 hour row is now in its 6th year. Started by long time Avalon Beach surf lifesaving club members Nathan and Mel Wellings back in 2018. Initially, just one club wanted to make a difference after seeing too many lives lost to suicide on the Northern Beaches of Sydney.

Each year the event has grown with more surf life saving clubs taking part. Last year 35 clubs, gyms, schools and teams around Australia made a difference! Now we are aiming for 50 to participate in this year's event.

“We love this event because it brings so many communities together and shows solidarity and passion for a suicide free Australia.”
