The Shine for Thomas Foundation is holding their first major fundraiser on Sunday 26th May at the races at Caloundra. The ‘Shine for Thomas Foundation’ is a registered charity set up Trudy and Andrew who tragically lost their 4 year old son in 2010 to Rhabdomyolysis from the LPINI gene. The symptoms are often misdiagnosed or not noticed but the death of children from Rhabdomyolysis can be prevented, and Trudy & Andrew have set up this foundation to raise funds for awareness and research in the hope of saving the lives of other children carrying this gene.
The venue, Corbould Park, holds approx 250 people and they have 5 races still available for sponsorship. You can also buy individual tickets for $120 each or a table of 10 for $1100. This is incredible value – entry, canapes, lunch and drinks for 5 hours! For further details on Sponsorship or to buy a ticket for a great day out check out their Facebook page http://www.facebook.com/amber.werchon#!/ShineForThomasFoundation?fref=ts or email enquiries@shineforthomas.com.au
It will be a great day out for family and friends (I’m sure the rain will have stopped by then!) and will be raising money for an extremely worthwhile cause.
