Story
We are a not for profit charity all about kids helping kids.
For more than 5 years we have trained children aged 4 - 18 years old to run and raise funds for children with brain injuries and special needs who cannot run but could someday because of this help.
We inspire children to develop a love of running, sense of community and responsibility, compassion and charity to other kids struggling for survival, they educate and inspire children and adults around them.
We have listed some statistics below recorded over 50 years from some of the treatment programs we support:
Seeing: Of the 262 children who were blind 85% saw for the first time
Hearing: Of the 116 children who were deaf 91% heard for the first time.
Detoxing: Of the 526 children who were on anticonvulsant medication 70% were completely successfully detoxified while 25 are still in the process of complete detoxification.
Reading: Of the 1,229 children who were unable to read, 99% read for the first time.
Walking: Of the 428 children who were unable to walk 50% began to walk without help for the first time.
Furthermore, children who take part in such therapy programs from an early age are often able to integrate into mainstream education and adulthood, thereby requiring minimal additional support in their adult life.
Funds raised are used wholly to serve the purposes of the foundation, no wages are paid and the staff of Grow Foundation are purely voluntary, so all funds raised go to serve the purposes of this wonderful charity.

Grow Foundation Ltd
The Grow Foundation is all about 'Kids Helping Kids' in need.
Established in 2011, Grow's mission is to help families whose children suffer from Brain Injury or have special needs who are often given little to no hope for their kids.
We aim to give them a FIGHTING CHANCE to live a life we hope for all of our children.
Today, Grow Foundation helps families and children by providing grants and access to programs that are not otherwise readily available.
Grow has a strong focus on community and education. We believe that if we can show children and adults alike that they can make a change in this world they will
then go on to help change the world in a significant way.
Each year Grow trains children from 4 - 16 years of age to run distances between 5 and 10 kms to support their peers who cannot. Our inspiration came from one of our
Grow kids, told he could never run again after a severe stroke, this impressive young man acheived the impossible and ran the 5.7km event in the Melbourne Marathon.
Through his efforts the Grow Kids Helping Kids campaign was born.
In this exciting year for the Grow Foundation, we celebrate the success of many Australian children achieving milestones never before thought possible, and watch as the
Grow Kids in their endeavours to help other kids in need, proudly take responisibility to make the world a better place for all.
Together we inspire children across Melbourne to develop a LOVE of running, a sense of community and responsibility, compassion and charity and all with of course an
idea of helping another.
Grow Foundation is wholly run by unpaid volunteers and all funds raised go towards supporting the children in need of help.

Further information
The Grow Foundation is a very exciting and unique project, which we hope will provide great relief to families who are often given little or no hope for their kids. The Foundation’s purpose is to provide information, support and funding for children with brain injuries or special needs.
There are many success stories including a man with Down syndrome who recently completed a degree in economics and a girl who was born at 28 weeks with a brain injury, and who is now a Merit Scholar. Other success stories abound of children who dramatically improve sight, hearing and mobility through the programs we support. Please help us help Australian Families of children with Brain Injuries and special needs and let them start to take the steps needed to allow them to reach their full potential!
