We're past the 1/2 way mark - City2Surf

WOW - overnight we've had $150 donated. That brings our total so far raised to $351 - we still need an extra $149 to reach our goal of $500.

If you can help us or if you know of someone who can help us reach that goal, please forward the information with a link to my fundraising page.

Every $$ is greatly appreciated, and it would be such a shame if we came so close to our goal, but didn't make it.

To all of you who have already so kindly donated/sponsored us, I thank you from the bottom of my heart and I'm sure the children and the families of those children who will benefit from the funds raised thank you also!!!!!

Please follow the link to see how we're going and to make a donation!

Please also pass this info along, wouldn't it be great if we could surpass our goal of $500 before August 10!


Starlight Wishgranting

A dream come true

A Starlight Wish is like a dream come true for a seriously ill child. Sharing a special, once-in-a-lifetime wish brings a family together, and is an experience that stays with them forever. Starlight aims to grant more wishes each year for children with serious and chronic illness.

A Starlight Wish provides meaningful experiences, has life impacting benefits and is an opportunity to share in a dream come true. A Starlight Wish gives the whole family a break from the stress of their child's illness. Fulfilled wishes provide lasting memories for the child, and it's rare that a day goes by without the family mentioning their special experience.

Just last Christmas, the generosity of the Australian public meant that Starlight could grant more than 152 urgent wishes for seriously ill children, children just like Christian, who wanted a Rocket Ship Cubby House, so he could use it to escape and visit planet Starlight.
"The day we heard Starlight were able to grant Christian's wish was amazing - the best day since his illness was diagnosed. It has become something special for him to look forward to every day."
Mum of Christian, who was diagnosed with a malignant brain tumour just before his fifth birthday
