Ocsober

Australians are being urged to set their willpower free this October and participate in Ocsober – a month long refrain from alcohol, all in the name of a good cause. www.ocsober.com.au Ocsober (1-31 October) is the biggest fundraiser of the year for national charity, Life Education which is the largest non-government provider of health education to children.

Life Education is seeking to raise $1 Million this year for its drug, alcohol and health education programs which are delivered to 600,000 school students annually. The preventative health programs educate and empower children and young people to make safer and healthier lifestyle choices.

'We are encouraging adults everywhere to take up the mental challenge and say „no‟ to alcohol for 31 days this October and raise money for Aussie kids. By demonstrating your self control and willpower, you will inspire future generations to exercise their own willpower and make responsible choices when it comes to drinking in the years ahead," said David Ballhausen, CEO of Life Education.

From 1 August 2014 you will be able to sign-up as an individual or a team to participate in this year's Ocsober campaign. To register, please visit www.ocsober.com.au from 1 August.
