Celebrating 10 Years of Action and Impact
For 10 years, the CHAMBERLAIN FOUNDATION has been a lifeline for those facing mental health challenges, trauma, and loss.
Founded after losing a close friend to suicide in 2015, Ray, Brian, and Peter Chamberlain have stood side by side in the want to create a future where mental health is prioritised, and no one feels alone.
For 10 years, the CHAMBERLAIN FOUNDATION has stood tall in the fight for mental health and suicide prevention, raising funds to support vital services that help protect those at risk in our community.
Join us in preventing suicide and creating a future of mental wellness for all Australians. Together, we can save lives.
Get Up, Dress Up, Show Up, Hand Up
In 2025, we celebrate our 10th Anniversary, we call on the champions to "Get Up, Dress Up, Show Up, Hand Up." A call to action that reflects our mission.
It's about taking the courageous step to get up, the pride in showing up for a cause, and the importance of offering a hand up to those who need it most.
This powerful message urges everyone to be part of a supportive community where mental health is a priority.
Why do we do what we do?
Every day in Australia, nine lives are tragically lost to suicide—nine too many.
This devastating reality fuels our unwavering commitment to funding vital services that help those at risk. We work tirelessly to prevent other families from experiencing the same pain, supporting those who help Australians facing trauma, loss, and mental health challenges.
Our mission is simple but vital: To create a brighter, more hopeful future by supporting services that reduce suicide rates, improve mental fitness, and foster healthier lives. We are particularly focused on men's health, young athletes, and first responders, who are often at greater risk of mental health issues.
Over the last decade, with the help of our community, we have raised funds that directly impact mental health services across Australia.
From our annual CHAMBERLAIN FOUNDATION Luncheon to the Razor Ride endurance challenge, these events have been pivotal in raising awareness and support for suicide prevention.
We have raised close to $700K for those vital services in our community. Key beneficiaries over the past years include

For all of us who have experienced the pain of losing a loved one to suicide.
We ride for you.
The RAZOR RIDE is a five day endurance ride that involves a small peloton (up to 15 riders) cycling through Victoria, NSW and the ACT to raise funds and awareness for Suicide prevention. More than $300,000 has been raised by participants from the Razor Ride.
Chambo Challenge
Our first CHAMBO CHALLENGE took place over 5 days with 10 champions walking from ‘Boots in the water’ in Bermagui on the New South Wales Coast to the top of Mt Kosciuszko covering over 250km.
The proceeds from the CHAMBO CHALLENGE will be used to fund pilot programs identified by both Lifeline and the Chamberlain Foundation in an attempt to further curb the instance of suicide and help our service men and women and first responders cope with the effects of PTSD.
