HELP CURE CHILDHOOD CANCER:
The Live for Lily foundation was established to honor Lily Hester. Our hope is to find a cure for Childhood Cancer so no child or parent has to endure what we did. We raise awareness and funds that will go directly towards research to find a cure for childhood cancers. Watch ‘Our Story’ to find out more.

Ride for Lily 2020 - Alpine Epic Update • • As we head into Christmas, our team of 21 riders in next years Ride for Lily - Alpine Epic, proudly sponsored by @airport_toyota, have been out and about training very hard over the past 3 months in preparation for the gruelling 1,000 kilometre ride from Canberra to Melbourne. • • They have also been very busy fundraising, having raised almost $30,000 dollars for childhood cancer research. Our goal this year is to raise $105,000 with each rider committing to raise $5k each so if you would like to support a rider this Christmas and help us in our mission to see an end to childhood cancer, go to https://liveforlily.org.au/ride-2020/ and sponsor a rider today. • • #RideforLily #AplineEpic
We would like to send a big shout out to one of our long-time sponsors, @honesty_snacks for partnering with us in our mission to see an end to childhood cancer. • • Honesty Snacks are a locally based family owned and operated business, who have been providing high quality snacks to businesses for over 30 years. Not only do they donate a % of each sale to Live for Lily, they have been instrumental in helping us broaden our reach as a Foundation to many people and through organisations who use their products. We are extremely grateful for their ongoing support as a primary partner of the Foundation. • • So if you come across an Honesty Snack box in your workplace, know that you are supporting the Live for Lily Foundation every time you purchase one of their delicious snacks. • • Check out our Partner with Us page at https://liveforlily.org.au/partner-with-us/ for more information about how your business can partner with us in fighting childhood cancer. • • #LiveforLily #HonestySnacks #Community #Partner
PARTNER WITH US • At Live for Lily, we are committed to doing all we can to raise much needed funding into targeted childhood cancer research being conducted at the @childrenscancerinstitute. Through our two main fund-raising events, the Ride for Lily and Butterfly Ball, we are also raising awareness about the scourge that is childhood cancer, and the devastating effects and impact this disease has on children and their families. • We are extremely fortunate to have a number of business supporters who are helping us in our journey, including our premier partner @airport_toyota. We are extremely proud that Live for Lily is operated and run entirely on a volunteer basis – no one involved in the Foundation is in a paid capacity – so we absolutely value the support of all our Partners which ultimately means that every dollar of we raise goes where it is needed most – into finding a cure for childhood cancer. • We are very keen to speak to other Australian businesses who are looking to align their community engagement strategy to our mission of one day finding a cure for childhood cancer. There are so many ways to get involved, including financial sponsorship, community grants, donating products for our live auction or golden raffle at the Butterfly Ball, offering logistical or other assistance for our Ride for Lily event, holding morning teas or gold coin donation days or other novel fundraisers. Being involved is a great way to bring an organisation’s community engagement agenda to life which in turn has flow on benefits by inspiring and motivating your staff, lifting customer loyalty and retention and ensuring meaning and purpose is brought to your business. • In return, we are only too happy to promote and recognise those businesses who support us through our website, our social media channels, at the Butterfly Ball and Ride for Lily events. • For more information on what it’s like to Partner with us at Live for Lily, jump onto https://liveforlily.org.au/partner-with-us/. • Alternatively, please reach out to us if your business would like to join us in seeing an end to childhood cancer. • #PartnerWithUs #LiveforLily #ButterflyBall2020 #RideforLily2020

One of the great new features of our recent website refresh is the ability to now host community led initiatives wishing to raise money for Live for Lily. We value every community fundraising event that is run on our behalf, whether it be large or small, because every dollar raised for Live for Lily means we are hopefully one step closer to finding a cure for childhood cancer. • “Let’s Walk for Lily” is a very special community led walkathon, set up and organised by two beautiful sisters, Chloe (10yrs) and Racquel (8 yrs) to raise money and awareness for our Foundation. They are aiming to walk 3 laps of the Botanical Gardens (a whopping 11.4kms!) in under 2 hours with all funds raised being donated to Live for Lily so that all childhood cancers can be eradicated forever. • The walkathon will take place on Sunday 17th November from 12pm to 2pm and everyone is invited to participate and join in and walk with the girls. A picnic will take place in the Botanic Gardens at the conclusion of the walkathon. If you would like to join the girls you can register your interest here - https://www.facebook.com/events/373771080196751/. • Chloe and Raquel would love for you to sponsor them on their epic walkathon which you can do so via their event page https://liveforlily.org.au/walk-2020/. They have set a target of raising $2,000 for their challenge and are already nearly a third of the way there, so we would love to see them smash their goal! • Thank you girls. Your dedication at such a young age to help us find a cure for childhood cancer is inspirational and shows true leadership. • If anyone is planning on holding a fundraising event on behalf of Live for Lily, please get in touch with us and we will be only too happy to give it a shout out and assist you in promoting it on our website and our social channels. • • #LiveforLily #fundraising #curekidscancer
We are proud to officially launch our brand new website 😁 • Thank you to our very good friends at JMAdvertising and the House of Dev for working with us over many months to bring this to life. • We are extremely proud of the fact that we have built an amazing partnership with the @childrenscancerinstitute, which has seen us donate $1M towards their #ZeroChildhoodCancer program in just over 3 years. Check out the Why Donate section https://liveforlily.org.au/why-donate/ for some very special videos and more information on why your donation is so valuable. • We have made it easier for people to donate towards our specific events or by way of general donations. All donations over $2 are tax deductible so we welcome all contributions, no matter how big or small 🙏 • As a not-for-profit, we are only as strong as the support we receive from individuals, businesses and the wider community and as such we were very keen to ensure that we acknowledge all of our business sponsors and partners on our new website that continue to support us on our journey, because without this support, the Foundation simply would not exist. If there are other businesses out there that would like to jump on board and help us in our mission to find a cure for childhood cancer, please reach out to us via our new Partner with Us page https://liveforlily.org.au/partner-with-us/ to see how you can become involved. • Finally, as part of the new website, we have officially launched our 2020 #RideforLily – Alpine Epic page including rider profiles showcasing the 21 amazing cyclists who will take on the 1,000km journey from Canberra to Melbourne beginning 29 March next year, all in the name of raising valuable awareness and funds for childhood cancer research.
