TALK about being a daredevil.

Proserpine's Wendy Hinschen is set to swing off Brisbane's Goodwill Bridge to raise money for Save the Children Queensland.

Ms Hinschen, who works with autistic children and kids with learning difficulties, needed to raise more than $500 to take part in the challenge, which will see her swing off the bridge over the Brisbane River.

"I've raised about $1200-$800 through baking biscuits and $400 from donations from family and friends," she said.

Ms Hinschen said she set herself a challenge each year and followed a strict workout regime every day.

"I lost a lot of weight a few years ago," she said.

"I get up early every morning to go to the gym.

"The bonus of doing this is that money is going towards something worthwhile."

Registrations are still open for Australia's biggest bridge swing, with a total of 250 spots up for grabs.

All funds raised help Save the Children's Queensland programs.

These include intensive, supported mobile play schemes, domestic violence refuges and child-friendly spaces.

Supporting the event will be Brisbane's Maritime Museum and the Redland Bay Coastguard, who will supply a vessel for participants to be lowered into on completion of their swing.

Goodwill Swing to Save has been developed with the support of the Department of Housing and Public Works, Maritime Safety Queensland, the Queensland Water Police, the Harbour Master and Brisbane City Council.

The event is being delivered by the experienced team of roping experts from Adventure Out Australia, who also deliver Save the Children's 36 floors, the Ultimate Urban Abseil.
