Please donate to help sick kids isolated in hospital
Dear agents,
I am trying to fundraise $10,000 for the Starlight Children’s Foundation by running a full marathon at Blackmores Sydney Running Festival on 19 September 2021!
I would really appreciate it if you can help me by making a donation.
It only takes a minute and any money you can donate, no matter how large or small, will go a long way to helping me reach my target. Most importantly, it will give sick kids the fun and happiness that has a lasting positive impact on their lives.
Myself going out on 30km training runs and running over 80kms per week, as well as my role as a husband, father and CEO is nothing compared to pain and suffering terminally ill children face…. When you give to Starlight, you’re helping sick kids feel happier, more confident and ready to face life’s challenges.
The Starlight Children’s Foundation is a completely amazing foundation, the least I can do is run my guts out for them….come on the marathon journey with me!
Thank you, I really appreciate your support.
