Jack and Lindsay, World Record

Last year, Jack and Lindsay set out to break the record for the World's Longest Handshake, and they did, shaking hands continuously for 12 hours, 34 minutes and 56 seconds! This incredible feat was achieved on the UN International Day of Peace with the support of their friends and radio station 2BL who hosted the event and encouraged listeners to donate on-line. They raised almost $5000 to support UNHCR's emergency shelter programs for refugees and displaced people.

Fundraisers make a huge difference to our work and the lives of refugees. From marathons to barbecues, to movie nights and mufti days, there are loads of fun and easy ways to help refugees in need.  Remember, every little bit makes a huge difference, and by getting friends together to help, you'll also be helping us raise awareness about refugee issues. So start fundraising now!
