17.01.2022 The Dystonia Collective is so proud to have contributed in a small way to this family with Dystonia. But let’s also say a big thanks and acknowledge Jason Lynch who also raised $13k on his own and was instrumental in organising last year festival. Also big thank you to Julie Lenane at Yarralen retreat. Kenzie was the inspiration for last years Dystonic Blues festival. She needed a new van to fit her wheelchair... like desperately. We are so happy for her and her mum Sheryl ...Weight to finally get their forever wheels. It’s so great to see what giving can achieve to help others. So thank you to all those that purcahsed tickets or donated or volunteered for our Dystonic Blues festival especially the musicians!

13.01.2022 Hey team, as most of you will remember our last fundraising event went to help some of those affected by the local bushfires. Some of the money raised went to organisations and some went to this lovely couple who were nominated by the Rotary Club as in need. It’s still a long road to recovery for a lot of people and glad other organisations can help. But just wanted to say thank you again to all those that donated and volunteered and bought tickets to the event. You really did help a lot of people.
