Bailey's Hike - Conquering Mt Kosciuszko for KIDS
Bailey's Hike - Conquering Mt Kosciuszko for KIDS
Story
Hello my name is Bailey Tuddenham,
I’m 10 years old and I’m about to take on a big challenge, hiking Mt Kosciuszko for some special friends that have serious burns and injuries.
A few years ago through the KIDS Foundation I met some really nice kids that that I have become friends with. They have had very sad things happen to them and I wanted to make a difference.
It makes me realise I’m so lucky to have a family that loves me, as some of my friends don’t have a mum or dad. Also, my body has no injuries or burns like they have, that sometimes stop them from doing easy things like holding a spoon, walking or playing sports, things I do everyday and don’t think about them. Some have had more than 100 operations and the pain they go through is unimaginable. Here is a story about two of my friends, Fletcher and Spencer.

To do this challenge, I’ll be carrying a pack with all camping gear and food and hiking Australia’s Eleven Highest Peaks including Mt Kosciuszko to raise as much money as I can for the KIDS Foundation. It will take me 3 to 4 days to complete, my mum and pa are coming as my support crew.
It is actually my 11th birthday on 11th March on the 2nd day into the hike. It would be pretty cool if I could raise $11,000, $1,000 for each peak, hiking Australia’s 11 highest peaks on my 11th birthday on 11th March. It is all for kids like Fletcher and Spencer, who have traumatic, burns and other serious injuries. The money I raise will help them run programs and camps to help kids cope with their injuries.
Anything you could donate to help me raise some money, I would so much appreciate. I have set up my own fundraising page, the link is below. All the donations are tax deductible and go straight to the KIDS Foundation.

KIDS Foundation
KIDS Foundation has been operating since 1993, with a number of highly successful programs making a significant positive impact on the lives of many children and their families.
Our mission is to keep children safe and create a better life for those living with serious injury and burns. We help build strong lives by giving children experience-based understanding of how to manage everyday risks and challenges, so the little people in our lives are ready to take on the world.
Our programs equip the next generation with experiences that empower them to build self-worth, wellbeing, resilience, respectful friendships and that allows them to become responsible risk takers.
Our Injury Prevention programs educate and empower children to build a strong sense of identity and wellbeing so that they can keep themselves and others safe while still allowing them be kids. Educating preschool children through the SeeMore Safety Program is our focus. SeeMore is currently in 2100 kinders and 100,000 homes.
Our Injury Recovery programs support children with horrific injuries caused by burns, accidents, dog attacks, violent crimes and abuse. We deliver injury recovery camps, leadership workshops and the National Burn Survivors’. These initiatives help young people to cope with the physical and emotional after-effects of living with burns and other serious life-changing injuries.
KIDS is a not-for-profit, health promotion charity offering support to children who have suffered life-changing injuries and to the family members caring for them in addition to working through schools and the community to prevent injury and promote safety education. KID is active nationally through preschools, primary and secondary schools and delivers highly commended, interactive safety education programs. Through its Burn Survivors’ Network, KIDS provides support programs to assist survivors and their families and puts them in touch with one another so they can share their experiences. Our staff and volunteers include qualified educators, business and health professionals and trained psychologists.
