I'm now a Pink Hero
Did you know that every day 58 people in Australia are diagnosed with breast cancer and 9 Australians die every day from this disease?
I've decided to host an event and raise funds for world-class breast cancer research to help National Breast Cancer Foundation (NBCF) towards their vision of Zero Deaths from breast cancer.
Please support me and my pledge to save lives and make a difference.
Every donation, big or small, will get me closer to reaching my goal. Together, we can stop deaths from breast cancer.

My Updates
This is going to be a massive event @ Parkdale Yacht Club so get your diaries out and block out the weekend of Saturday March 15th and Sunday March 16th as Parky goes Pink to fundraise for breast cancer research!
There will be something for everyone. The fun starts at 8am Saturday with a 12 hour sailing marathon getting underway and while the sailors are out on the water doing their stuff we will be holding a pink luncheon upstairs from Noon to 3 pm with a guest speaker and some amazing prizes up for raffle. Then as evening hits, we will celebrate the weary sailors efforts with a relaxed dinner and drinks on the balcony as they complete racing at 8pm. Join us for a drink to celebrate.
Sailors, start by getting your teams together for a marathon 12 hour sail and then get your families, friends and workmates to dig deep into their pockets and sponsor you or make a donation because the team who raises the most money wins $$$
Our Summer Sunday Live Music will start earlier at 2pm with a gold coin donation with live auctions and raffles and presentation & prizes for our marathon competitors will be held from 3 pm. Phew! That's a big weekend! Let's make this happen!
Please see Parkdale Yacht Club's website for all details and to purchase tickets to the events!
