16.01.2022 A HUUUUUGE thank you to our amazing community. This year our team of staff and amazing volunteers worked incredibly hard to get the QSuper Cardiac Challenge off the ground. We limited rider numbers, as well as numbers of supporters, in order to have our COVID-19 safe plan approved. There have been many obstacles and hurdles to overcome. And it happened this weekend, just passed.... But most importantly, we set our fundraising goal at $175,000, in order to buy two specific pieces of cardiac equipment. A few minutes ago, we SMASHED that goal out of the water and we're beyond thrilled to announce we have this year (so far) raised $281,279. We can't thank everyone enough for EVERYTHING you have done. Riders, volunteers, sponsors, staff. You are all incredible. A million Thank you's!

03.01.2022 Thanks today to a great bunch of kids (and their families) from Crystal Close in Redlynch. Some of these kids have been patients at the hospital, experiencing firsthand the incredible team of doctors, nurses, physio’s and clinicians. So the kids got together in the holidays and decided to do a fundraiser for the kids ward. They hope the funds can help give a little joy to kids on the children’s ward and make their stay a little easier in some way! The Wood and Sharp kids... held a live performance at the street Christmas party, and accepted donations from generous families in the street. Saving up pocket money, Bella purchased wool for a Pom Pom "pop up shop" with Liam and also sold lemons and limes from their garden prior to the show. They brought their hard-earned donation into the office this week and we were a bit thrilled, to be honest. It all adds up, folks. See more
