Inspired by nine-year old Rory who has incurable Brain Cancer. We aim to raise awareness and funds

Sometimes it's good to reminisce on how far we've come.
This video was taken Aug 2019 after about 60 weeks of chemotherapy. You can see how significant Rory's movement impairments were 😪

Took us a while but we finally managed to get the funds from Square and have donated all money to Robert Connor Dawes Foundation Connor's Run - a total of $2300 including online donations made!!
What a fabulous community you are Tannum/Boyne/Gladstone - thank you for getting involved in our first satellite Connor's Run 🫶
We hope you really had more fun than Run!!

Apologies for all the blank posts!!

Any suggestions??

(Including this one we had to edit 🙄)

Apologies all for the delays in getting the funds donated from Sunday's event. Apparently won't release the funds (after 5 years of using it as a payment method for Rory's Warriors) to our bank account until we provide a letter from stating that we are fundraising for a charity.
This of course was after spending 😡 time on the app and website going around in circles and then an extended phone call ......
It shouldn't be this hard!!

Wow!! Thank you to the amazing Tannum/Boyne/Gladstone/Calliope community for your incredible support of our version of Connor's Run!!
A brilliant (albeit very warm and humid 🥵) morning to walk and run for paediatric brain cancer research.
The vibes were high, some blistering paces from our younger runners, and plenty of yummy breakfast enjoyed by all 😁
An enormous thank you to all who helped and donated 💰 and breakfast contributions 🥓🍳🥖🧁🍰
- especially for the farm fresh eggs from Builyan residents, John Austen and Barb McKee 🫶
Finally tally to come - but somewhere around the $2000 mark 🥹💙💛🙏
Link to donate in bio if you missed the day.

7 years ago today Rory completed 68 weeks of chemotherapy to treat his brain cancer. Our good friend Nicole Eglinton sent 68 balloons to celebrate 🥳
Feeling so very grateful that Rory hasn't required any further cancer treatment to date 🙏
