I'm now a Zero Hero
As many of you are aware, Kelli Portbury, who was the Mum of one of our good mate’s Dru, lost her battle to stage 4 breast cancer on 21st February at the age of 46.
We've decided to shave our hair to honour her memory, and to raise funds for more research because we want a world where there are ZERO deaths from breast cancer.
We believe every death from breast cancer is one too many.
The boys doing this are:
• Pat Cousins
• Josh Davies
• Jack Heine
• Matt Jones
• Mitch Rebecca
• Jack Roche
• Liam Rooney
- Ethan Ramierez
We will be doing this on Saturday 27th March at Vermont Football Club’s Jumper Presentation Day as we all play here, and the Portbury's have been involved in the club since Dru started in under 8's - we are now under 17's!
If you are in a position to donate any amount, no matter how small, it'd be great to have your support.
The National Breast Cancer Foundation (NBCF) is Australia’s leading national body funding game-changing breast cancer research with money raised entirely by the Australian public.
We really believe research is the best way to prevent deaths, and improve how breast cancer is diagnosed, managed and treated. NBCF is working towards one goal: zero deaths from breast cancer by 2030. Together we can help them get there.
Click 'Donate' to make a secure online donation and help us reach our goal. Every donation, big or small, will help us get there. Please donate today.
All donations over $2 are tax deductible and you will be issued with a tax-deductible receipt via email as soon as you make your donation.
Thank you so much for your support!
