City2Surf 2024 Raises $9812.00

2024 City2Surf Funds Raised Banner

The 2024 City2Surf was my eleventh time fundraising in honour of my little sister, Dainere.

This year saw me achieve my third fastest time in the gruelling 14kms starting from the city in Sydney, finishing at Bondi in 51:03. Though running is something I am passionate about and therefore always aim to run personal best times, the City2Surf for me, is first and foremost about raising money for Dainere’s Rainbow in conjunction with Sydney Children’s Hospitals Foundation.

I could write paragraph after paragraph breaking down the feelings on the start line, the race tactics, and bringing it in faster at the end of the race, however, I instead would like to share that I am just $1080 off raising a total of $100,000 across all the City2Surf races I’ve completed so far.

My donation page is still active, and this is similar to that final stretch in a race – I can see the goal in sight, so very close! Every single dollar donated and share of the fundraising page brings me ever closer to that finish line where I raise $100,000 across eleven City2Surf races for Dainere.

Please help me achieve this amazingly large step towards bringing Dainere’s greatest wish to life – no child should have to suffer with brain cancer, and you can help make this important difference.

We would also like to express our most heartfelt, humble and endless gratitude to the extraordinary Mark Scarborough, Nicole Scarborough and Diane Biaggini, who were absolute champions in taking on the gruelling and challenging 14km City2Surf course and raising vital awareness and funds as part of Sydney Children’s Hospitals Foundation Team and Dainere’s Rainbow.  Mark raised an impressive $310.00, Nicole very kindly raised $122.00 and Diane was a legend raising $604.00.  Every single dollar they raised is helping bring hope and create change for children in Canberra and the surrounding areas, and all across Australia diagnosed with brain cancer.

A bit about me.

I’ve been performing ceremonies – weddings and funerals – for my fellow Canberra locals for over thirty years now, and I count myself lucky to have the honour to stand next to people as they mark the significant days in their lives.

Image004I am the principal celebrant of Canberra Celebrants, and through them I offer a range of options to get you married.

I have a keen eye for detail so that all of the little things (and often the very important things) don’t get overlooked. So whether you’re farewelling a loved one, or welcoming a new one into your family, I promise to be your relaxed, respectful, and reliable companion for the days you want to remember everything else.

If your funniest friend doesn’t like public speaking, I can take care of the wedding reception duties. Alternatively, I can act as an MC for your next event.

If I sound like I could be a good fit for your next milestone, let’s chat more.

Using A3 size paper with black pens and splashes of colour Chris has been drawing caricatures since the year 2000.

He is in demand at events such as gala parties, birthdays, Christmas parties, corporate events, trade shows, politician gatherings and even World Doodle Art Day.

He is a previous Guinness World Record holder having captured the record for longest marathon drawing caricatures in 2014. He did live caricaturing for 50 hours capturing over 600 participants and raising over three thousand dollars for the Canberra Hospital Foundation.

Live Caricaturing is very safe. There is no sword swallowing, or fire breathing, just pens, paper, fun and laughter resulting in a great caricature.
