High Tea for a Greater Good
Event description
2 million Australians are affected by bullying every year including 1 in 4 young people and up to 1 in 9 employees, causing devastating and lasting effects... and in some instances, causing cases of suicide or a suicide attempt!
One in two Australian men and women will be diagnosed with cancer by the age of 85. Cancer is a leading cause of death in Australia!
Join Em Hardwicke, Mrs Austrlian Legacy International 2024 and Robbie Canner, Ms World 2018-2019 at The Rowers on Cooks River where you will be treated to an afternoon of high tea, beverages, tea & coffee as we raise awareness and funds to help make a difference in the lives of those affected by the devastation caused by bullying, suicide and cancer.
We will also be joined by special guest speaker Aidan Grimes - one of the most respected operators on the Kokoda Track, performance coach, trainer and mentor... and, quite frankly, an absolute legend and all round great human! Get ready to be amazed and inspired!
"Aidan successfully completed his 121st Kokoda Trek in July 2019 . Through historical benchmarks, extreme corporate events and personal development initiatives, he promotes a way of thinking that removes limitations and unearths a basic instinct inspired by the passion and spirit he believes is inherent in all Australians.
A passionate philanthropist and war historian with an unsurpassed reputation for his encyclopaedic knowledge of Kokoda and other battlesites, Aidan has been recognised publicly by Stan Bisset 2/14th Battalion, Keith Norrish 2/16th Battalion, Greg Ivey, PIB Battalion in support of this.
Aidan inspires participants as they encounter the mental and physical challenges on the treks. The local Papuan’s have honoured Aidan with the nickname “Uda Baroma” - meaning wild boar as a sign of respect for the incredible strength and leadership he has demonstrated over the past 24 years crossing the Kokoda Track and other military and culturally significant tracks."
