The story behind this not for profit organisation is inspirational, confronting, heartbreaking and a testimony to a mothers love and commitment to providing support to young people in the Macleay who are suffering from mental health issues and self-acceptance.

Hayley Hoskins is a mum who lost one of her children and who has worked through her grief by forming a foundation to help others in similar situations.

“I can honestly say that I don’t think any of us can imagine being at this point which is why I found it essential to form the Baylin’s Gift Foundation. Gender or sexual identification, depression, anxiety are all things that are not going away and must be addressed and talked about so that our children can grow up accepting of themselves and others. It’s really a very simple concept,” Hayley said

So, if you are looking for a way to support an amazing cause, keep fit and be a part of a growing community event mark August August 19 in your diary and join us on Crescent Head beach for the Head to Head Walk Run.

Members of the Crescent Head Lions Club will support all participants along the way with water, sunscreen, or fruit to keep everyone hydrated and sun safe plus we have two vehicles available to drive you back if you are tired or injured or just need a lift back to base. We have some of the best sponsors and thank you to them.

Please do not bring your pets this is a pet and smoke free event for the safety of other participants.

Why not put together a team from work or friends and dress up for the day – we would like to make it as much fun as we can – why not try some rainbow colours to support the colours of Baylins Gift.
