Help us raise $50k for kids brain cancer research as we row 1000km!

As you may be aware, our little girl Chloe died of brain cancer at age 9, and we are now doing what we can to raise money for Robert Connor Dawes Foundation to fund paediatric brain cancer research, and stop this happening to kids in the future.

We’ve got a team participating in RCD's Connors Erg fundraiser and I'm looking for donations.  The event will be held at The Euroa Gym on the 18th of February 2023, and we are aiming a bit higher this time.
In 2022 we rowed 300km on 3 rowing machines, and raised about $45k. In 2023 we are going to row 1000km (yes, a thousand kilometres, not a typo) and we will be seeking donations/sponsorships as we do so, aiming to raise $50,000.

My Updates

Help us make life better. - Life without brain cancer.

Friday 30th Dec
In 2013 Shannon and I had a conversation with a doctor that we don’t want any other parent to have, ever.
We were told our daughter Chloe had brain cancer.
In 2017 we had another conversation with a doctor, again one we don’t want any parent to have, EVER.
We were told our little girl was going to die, and there wasn’t anything we could do to save her.
This is brain cancer. This, and everything since is brain cancer. Every day I miss her is brain cancer. 
Brain cancer took our little girl, and it continues to take little boys and girls from other families. Right now, families are suffering.
Brain cancer kills more kids in Australia than ANY other disease, and we want to make it stop. We won’t stop until it does.

On the 18th of February at The Euroa Gym our team will be rowing 1000km in a single day, and seeking donations to fund paediatric brain cancer research as we do so.
If you are able to donate to our team, please do so, if you can share it with your friends, that would also be great, and if you’re up for a fun day and a big challenge, please join the team.

Help us make the world a better place; help us make brain cancer a curable disease.

Thanks 🙏
