Last year my wife and the girls from her Kiama Central 1 netball team set out to raise money for the Australia Cancer Research Foundation in the hopes of raising $30,000.

What is the Australian Cancer Research Foundation I hear you say, it is a foundation dedicated to helping find a cure for cancer through the continued support of world-class research in Australia. Each year grants between $1.5million and $10million are awarded to leading researchers who aim to prevent, diagnose, treat and defeat all types of cancer. Their mission is to fund breakthrough research projects aimed at eliminating the devastating effects of cancer, working closely together with the research community & our supporters to achieve the dream of finding a cure for the one in three of us who will be touched by cancer. Every dollar of every donation received goes to cancer research.

Each of the girls have had someone with cancer in their families, some lucky enough to win the battle, others not so lucky.

This was such a great cause and all the girls and everyone that helped put this together done one amazing job! After a trivia night and the charity ball a total of $47,069.90 has be raised, smashing what they set out to do. If you would like to find out more or still make a donation please click here.
