Update

Hi everyone,  just 4 weeks to our Shine a light walk! If you registered to walk and have raised $100, your t-shirt will be sent to you after Oct 16th. I'm not sure if the lantern is being sent at the same time or if they are all being sent to me to be handed out on the day of the walk.
If anyone else in your family is walking with you on the 9th, please register them as council requires numbers for insurance. You do not have to donate to register to walk. 
After the walk everyone is welcome to stay back for a free Sausage Sizzle. All dietary requirements will be catered for 😊
Once again, thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your support. ❤️

Update

Thank you all, once again, for registering to walk and for your kind donations.
This week I learned that we are the leading fund raising team, which is amazing! 
What an great bunch of caring family and friends, you all are. 
Always remembering our beautiful Matthew and all who have passed or are suffering from this disease. ♥️

Update

Wow, thank you all so much for joining us to help raise funds for lung cancer and lung disease and for your kind donations. Your support means a lot to us. ♥️
If you haven't registered for the walk yet, please do. We are hoping for at least 50 people registered to walk. 
Thank you all so much. ❤️

We lost our beautiful son, brother and partner to lung cancer on 20th April, 2023. We want to raise funds to fight this horrible disease, so others do not have to suffer like Matty did. He was only just 38 and left behind a young family

Did you know lung cancer is Australia’s biggest cancer killer?
Research offers hope and your support helps keep hope alive for the 15,122 new Australians living with lung cancer. Together, we can help shine a light on lung cancer and fund groundbreaking research.
Every year, the Shine a Light campaign raises funds to brighten the future for Australians living with lung cancer. With your support, Lung Foundation Australia provides seed funding for the best and brightest researchers to undertake projects that support discoveries towards the prevention, management and cure of lung cancer. Scientific breakthroughs can take years to accomplish but every dollar makes a difference to the lives of people impacted by lung cancer. Alongside research, practical support is just as critical, so we empower people living with lung cancer to make informed choices about treatment and management, through Lung Foundation Australia's Lung Cancer Support Nurse service.
Where there is light, there is hope. Every dollar builds a brighter future for Australians diagnosed with lung cancer.
Join us in fundraising, donate or join a community walk today. You will make a difference.

Thank you to our Sponsors
