The story behind the Partner Project:

My DG Partner fundraising events are dedicated to the memory of my brother TJ who passed away after a battle with cancer on Christmas Eve 1999.

He hoped and prayed that he'd win his battle against cancer so that he could see his daughter grow up, but sadly it wasn't to be.

During the last 2 years of his life and during times of tremendous health struggles and treatment he set out on a journey with his wife and beautiful little daughter to raise funds to support children with cancer.

Together they took part in two 'Camp Quality' car rallies and also ran dinner & silent auction events resulting in tens of thousands of dollars being raised to support seriously ill children.

His quote 'NO child or their family should ever have to endure such pain and heartache'.

His own battle and that of our father who also passed away at a young age due to cancer made him so aware of the heartbreaking battles that children and their families endure. He was determined that in some way he would do everything in his power to make things a little easier for them.

Please help us to continue TJ's legacy by attending this event.

All money raised will help the Monash Children's Cancer Centre make a difference to the lives of many children and their families.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Your generosity is truly appreciated.
