Story

Thank you for taking the time to visit our fundraising page!

We are super excited for all the things we have planned this year and are looking forward to supporting Held in our hearts who provide care to those who are in need support following the loss of their baby.

The event that we're most excited about is the kids' 1.5k run that's taking place this May. Annabel and a group of her primary 2 friends are taking part in the run as they would like to raise funds for much needed support. The children have been training hard in preparation for their big day. I love their dedication and excitement. I'm proud that such young children are so thoughtful and caring and understand the importance of giving something back to the community. I hope you'll all cheer, Annabel, Gracie, Joss, Eden, Ella, Darcie and Reuben on as they get set for their big day. We are all so proud of them.

We also have other events planned for the year, one being a bungee jump! So watch this space!

Thanks again for your support.
