Our story
Born from a heart for the overlooked.
In 2012 a vision was born: a community-focused charity bringing relief, empowerment and dignity to people facing life's toughest challenges.
After Kathy's own health journey, Murray and Kathy saw how many people with disability fall through the cracks. Rhythm exists so that everyone, regardless of ability, experiences respect, inclusion and opportunity.
