HELP CURE CHILDHOOD CANCER:
1 January 2005-11 August 2014
Well this weekend should have seen the start of the 2020 Ride for Lily - Alpine Epic, our 5th Ride for Lily, riding to find a cure for childhood cancer. Sadly, the COVID-19 pandemic crisis put an end our plans this year. • • We want to thank all our riders who trained and fundraised so hard for the event over the past 6 months - including these three guys - @menamespanda, @harv32silver and @mash289, our Bendigo contingent of the 21 riders who signed up to help us raise vital funds for childhood cancer research. • • Whilst we know all the riders are disappointed not be rolling out of Canberra on Sunday morning bright and early, you can all be super proud of your efforts to get to this point and can look forward to being even stronger in 12 months time when we run it back!! • • We were fortunate enough to get the @bendigomagazine to run a fantastic story on the Foundation featuring our dedicated riders from Bendigo this year. You can view the link online at https://issuu.com/bendigomagazine/docs/bgomag58?fr=sYWFkMzEwNjc2ODY (starting at page 107) or read from the images below. • • #RideforLily #LiveforLily @childrenscancerinstitute @airport_toyota
We regretfully announce that due to the current COVID-19 pandemic health emergency, both our 2020 Ride for Lily – Alpine Epic and 2020 Butterfly Ball are to be postponed until 2021. • • The Ride for Lily – Alpine Epic will now take place from April 11th to 17th 2021, whilst our Butterfly Ball will now be held on Saturday 19th June 2021 at Crown Palladium. • • As our supporters know, our Ride for Lily and Butterfly Ball are our two premier fundraising events organised to assist in finding a cure for childhood cancer, so that no parent has to endure the loss of a child. In keeping with our purpose, we felt that it is our responsibility as a childhood cancer foundation to do everything we can to minimise the spread of COVID-19, and to ensure the health and safety of our volunteers, riders, guests and the broader community who would have played a part in both of these events. • • Childhood cancer does not discriminate and will continue to affect many children during this uncertain period ahead. We will continue to work tirelessly on our fundraising efforts in line with our mission to find a cure for childhood cancer and towards staging an even more epic Ride for Lily and bigger and better Butterfly Ball in 2021. Thank you to everyone who has supported us, and who continue to support us during this challenging time. • • We hope this health crisis passes soon, and all of our supporters and their loved ones remain safe. • • #LiveforLily #RideforLily #ButterflyBall
2020 Ride for Lily - Alpine Epic riders Daniel Mundy and Paul Layzell recently held a Comedy Gala fundraising event with the evening being a great success raising over $10k! • • This couldn't have happened without the generosity of many and we would like to thank all those who attended on the night and the wonderful comedians, who were incredibly entertaining; Bradford Oakes, Christine Basil and @daniel_connell_comedy. A big thank you also goes to the @nelsontwinscomedy, who couldn't be there on the night, but who were instrumental in putting together this very funny line up. • • We would also like to thank the following generous donors; ⬇️ @airoldifinewines Anytime Locksmiths (www.anytimelocksmiths.com) @barelaserandskin Black Rock Cellars @foxeyshangout Instant Stages (www.melbournestagehire.com.au) @kingston_heath Leighton IT (www.leightonit.com.au) @starsbbl Matt & Kim Nunn @28bysamwood @sabuki_salon @theskinboutique Tony Noonan @true_south • • #LiveforLily #RideforLily

The 2020 Ride for Lily sponsored by @airport_toyota is only just over 7 weeks away! • • January was a huge month for our riding team who collectively completed almost 10,000km of training in readiness for the Alpine Epic which begins from Canberra on the 29th March. • • If you would like to sponsor a rider this year you can go to the link https://liveforlily.org.au/ride-2020/. Our goal is to raise $105,000 from this year’s event so every little bit counts!!

2/2 • Our 2020 Ride for Lily – Alpine Epic kicks off on March 29 from Canberra, and will see 21 riders, some new and some old, make their way back to Melbourne over 7 days through some of the most gruelling (but spectacular) road cycling taking into account Mt. Kosciuszko, the Victorian Alps and King Lake. Our riding team have been out on the road already training for this massive challenge since the beginning of October and have already raised over $31,000. Don’t forget, you can sponsor any of our riders by jumping onto https://liveforlily.org.au/ride-2020/ and selecting on your favourite rider. Every rider has committed to raise a minimum of $5,000 to be part of the Alpine Epic so they would love to get the support from their family and friends to help them achieve their fundraising goals. • The 2020 Butterfly Ball is going down on the 13th June next year – get the date firmly locked in your calendar and start to organise your tables again for what will be another amazing Butterfly Ball evening. We have all the favourites returning again this year – the golden raffle where a car will be won, the frenetic live auction with some amazing prizes and experiences and an even BIGGER treasure chest! We also have some surprise guests on the night and an entertainment and music line up that will no doubt have everyone up and dancing. So if you only go to one charity ball next year, the 2020 Butterfly Ball will be the place to be! • Thank you to all our amazing partners who are on the journey with us to find a cure for childhood cancer. Without your support we simply would not exist. • Finally, thank you to everyone who has contributed to our cause this year – so many wonderful people ready to dig deep through making donations, donating prizes, holding fund-raising events and giving up their time, all with one mission in mind – to one day see an end to childhood cancer. • Lily would have been turning 15 on the 1st of January. The legacy she has left behind is profound and we will continue to honour that legacy, and indeed of that of her mother Sianne, in doing what we can to ensure no more children have to suffer at the hands of cancer. ~~ #LiveforLily
