I felt helpless as I watched social media flood with images and videos of those who have been affected by the fires burning across Australia at present. So much land is burnt, so many animals have passed or are suffering, houses have burnt down, people are suffering, missing and worse … found dead. For now one of the best ways I figured I could help would not only be to donate my money but also to donate my time and help to get the great health and wellness influencers we have locally in Brisbane on board to host a FIRE AIDE FUNDRAISER so that is what we will do.
Hopefully with YOUR help by booking in, coming along and showing your support!
LETS RAISE $5000 … CHALLENGE ACCEPTED.
100% of the proceeds will go towards helping fight Australian Bush Fires and supporting those volunteers and firefighters on the front lines doing what they can to contain it. As well as profits from the donation box on the day going towards the WIRES wildlife fund.
Come along for a morning filled with health and wellness being MC’d by Tess Alexander with the event including:
A mobility warm up run by Chris Miller, HIIT workout by Lauren Patterson, Pilates with Karlie Andrews, Crap Free Cooking Workshop with myself and Shan Cooper, Health Panel Discussion with Sofie, Shan, Meghan Gray (psychologist) and Nicola from the Unrefined, Amazing Raffles Prizes to be won and of course delicious food to eat.
When: Sunday, January 19th 8am - 10:30am

There will be a donation box at the fundraiser with some seriously generous and amazing raffle prizes to be won. We will also be taking item donations for the collection bin… that will be dropped to the Brisbane Food Bank.
