Participating in the Bash is something I'll never forget. Every single person was extremely kind and helpful. The people we met along the way all had the same motivation: to make life easier for kids and families dealing with very challenging situations. You get a whole new perspective on how lucky we are to be walking around doing whatever we want when we want.

Absolutely blessed and humbled by the amount of work and effort that goes into the event but more importantly what it means and does for these smaller regional communities, the people in them and the kids that need support the most. To take part in such an incredible event, raise and contribute the funds we did and seeing where it all goes is worth it, I'd do it all over again in a heartbeat.

Some of the best moments of the Bash were the grant presentations along the way. It was incredible to hear firsthand about the difference our fundraising will make in the lives of kids, families and even teachers.

It was awesome to experience the Variety Bash with my best mates of over 45 years, tick it off my bucket list and meet some great people along the way.
