A GROUP of employees from SportUNE have raised more than $2000 for the Cure for Life Foundation after participating in an Olympic-length triathlon at Coffs Harbour.
Kathie Hunt, Ariane Mazzei and Leanne Bell finished sixth in the women’s team event.
They did the fund-raising effort in support of work colleague Mally McCormack, who lost her nephew Jock Perkins, 21, to brain cancer last year,
“Jock faced his disease with courage, humour and a determination to beat it,” Ms McCormack said.
“He didn’t lose hope, still looking for a possible cure, which tragically didn’t happen for him,
“However, the search continues and so far we have raised over $2000 to support this very worthy cause.”
Fittingly, this week is Brain Awareness Week, an annual event that unites various brain research organisations worldwide in their campaign to increase public awareness about the progress and benefits of brain research.
Donations for the SportUNE fund-raiser can be made up until the end of March at the team’s hero page https://give.everydayhero.com/au/sportune and the front desk of SportUNE.
