For the 12th year in a row, a number of our Volunteers will be giving up their very comfortable beds to spend a cold, winters night trying to sleep in a Kennel at APS. They will be sharing a kennel with the resident APS dog to raise funds for APS to help them to continue the work they do saving Dogs & Cats in need and making sure that the animals in our care get everything they need until we can find them an amazing Furever Home. Many of our Team will be doing this for the 12th year and will Team up with one of our Woofs to do this. Our Woofs wants you to know that this is their favourite night of the year and are so proud that they can raise funds to help their Buddies in need. The demand for our services has never been higher, every day we are inundated with calls for surrenders and calls from local pounds asking us to help animals that they do not want to have to euthanise. Please help us to make a difference? All donations over $2 are tax deductible and will make a massive difference to an animal currently sitting in a pound hoping for a lifeline. Please consider sponsoring Team Woof?

Hi All, A cherished member of the 2SECFOR SQN Team, FLTLT Hayley Robinson, is undergoing her second round of chemotherapy in her fight against Ovarian Cancer. So on 30 June 2SECFOR SQN will be running 1050 laps around the track on base in support of Hayley, and to raise awareness and money for the 1050 women estimated to die from ovarian cancer yearly. FLTLT Robinson battle with ovarian cancer. Meet Hayley, a loving wife and vibrant Mother of two with a passion for life and a heart full of dreams. Hayley's world changed when she was diagnosed with ovarian cancer in November 2023 at the age of 32. This was just heartbreaking for Hayley, Richard and her beautiful children. Hayley endured two surgeries and six months of chemotherapy. Despite the challenges, her courage and resilience shone through, inspiring everyone around her. Hayley thought her battle was over. Happiness was unexplainable. In May 2025, Hayley's world came crashing down around her. Hayley learnt that the cancer had returned, this time the cancer had spread and her prognosis isn't good. Hayley underwent another major surgery and has since commenced more chemotherapy treatment. The statistics are currently stacked up against Hayley facing a 20% chance of survival. The fundraiser is not for Hayley this is for Daughters, Wives, Sisters, Mothers, Aunts and Grandmothers in the hope research can find an early detection so they don't have to go through the same difficulties Hayley has. Hayley has said how fortunate she is to have the support of loved ones, family, friends and workplace throughout this whole journey. Hayley's story is not unique - thousands of women face the same battle everyday. Around 70% of cases are diagnosed at advanced stages. Early detection could have made a world of difference for Hayley, as it can for so many others. Your donation can help rewrite these stories With your support, we can: Fund life-savings research for early detection Provide Critical support to patients and their families Raise awareness to prevent late diagnoses Hayley's journey is one of hope, resilience, and the power of community. Be a part of the change - donate today and help us create a future where ovarian cancer is no longer a silent threat. If we raise the $3000 Goal our XO, SQNLDR Tai Kohn has agreed to shave her head and subsequently get a new official portrait that will be put on the 2SECFOR official website! Anyone is welcome around base to come and join the run from 0715 on 30 June and watch SQNLDR Kohn get her head shaved! Any donation counts and goes towards a fantastic cause!

Raffle to be Drawn Friday 5 July. I am raising funds for Cherish Women's Cancer Foundation – their mission is to raise awareness and fund clinical research that results in kinder treatments for women with gynaecological cancer. Each year over 6,700 Australian women and girls are diagnosed with gynaecological cancer and this number is increasing each year. Almost a third will not survive their disease. The difference they make is extraordinary and I am supporting Cherish by raising funds so they can continue to raise awareness and funds for research as it is the most effective way to improve the odds of survival. Pleas support their hard work by donating to my CrowdRaiser – we would both be very grateful for your contribution. Please share this link with your friends and family – together we can help fund clinical research that results in kinder treatments for women with gynaecological cancer. Thank you

We are raising funds for MCCI because we are inspired by their work.

Also, I would be very grateful for you to share the link to this CrowdRaiser page to your friends and family. The more people who can help the better! Thank you

In Loving Memory of Our Beloved Shazzie. With heavy hearts, we share the passing of our beautiful mother, Sharon Dymond, whose boundless love, unwavering strength, and quiet grace touched the lives of everyone she met. There are no words that could describe what she means to us and the hurt that we are feeling from losing a piece of our souls. Her love was the foundation of our family. In honor of her memory and the compassionate care she received, we kindly ask that, in lieu of flowers, donations be made to Eastern Palliative Care. This program supported our beautiful Shazzie with dignity, tenderness, and peace in her final weeks—gifts we will forever be grateful for. Your support will help other families experience the same comfort and care that meant so much to ours. Thank you for honoring her legacy in this deeply meaningful way. With love and gratitude, Adam, Carly, Tegan, Brent, Jesse, Harlow, Bailey & Jaxon.

In December, I lost my beautiful and courageous Mum, Angela to Metastatic Breast Cancer. My mum was truly one of a kind, someone who made her mark on the world, and is missed deeply by her family and friends. Mum was diagnosed in 2022, and following this she was frustrated by the lack of support available for those living with MBC. In response to this, she and a group of incredible women - connected by their shared experience - founded Metastatic Breast Cancer Action Australia. Their mission is to raise the collective voice of those affected by MBC, spotlighting critical areas of need and pushing for real, lasting change. In honour of my Mum, I’ll be running the Gold Coast Marathon in July alongside my amazing friends, Claire and Gabi, to raise awareness and funds for this cause so close to my heart. If you’re able to, please consider donating. Your support means so much—and it helps continue the work my Mum so passionately believed in. Thank you 💜💜

I am participating in the City to Surf event in Sydney this year to support a charity that makes a real difference. FOr more than 20 years a small Australian charity, Lotus Outreach has run highly effective education scholarship programs for vulnerable girls in Cambodia. These have played a vital role in preventing child slave labour and sex trafficking. It is universally acknowledged that educating girls is the most effective way to help families and communites climb out of poverty. Please help me contribute to continuing this very important work. All funds I will raise for Lotus Outreach Australia will go directly to the program. I will be supported by the Macquarie Group Foundation which, under its staff support policy, will generously dollar match donations you make to my fundraising effort. With thanks, Cael Courtney

Welcome to my fundraising page for The Breaking Point Challenge – raising funds for the CURE! By clicking the “Donate Now” button above, you can sponsor me and leave a message of support. This Challenge is designed to push ordinary people like me to our physical and mental limits. Over five months, I’ll be training hard to prepare for 30 relentless hours of intense physical and psychological activities across two tough days. Why? Because it’s all for an incredible cause: The Cure Starts Now Australia.

Brain cancer is the leading disease-related killer of children and young adults under 40 in Australia. The Terry Campese Foundation is about building brighter futures for youth and has partnered with Cure Starts Now Australia to deliver this challenge right here in Townsville. That’s why I’m standing up and taking on this challenge, and I’m asking you to stand with me because both the Cure Starts Now Australia, and the Terry Campese Foundation are about making a difference for our children and youth. The net proceeds raised will be split 75% to Cure Starts Now Australia and 25% to the Terry Campese Foundation. Every donation, big or small, will help two fantastic charities. Please consider donating, and if you can, share this page with your friends and family too. Thank you so much for your support.

The difference they have made to so many people is just extraordinary and I know there are so many others that would benefit from their work. But they need more funding to make that happen. So please support their work by donating to my CrowdRaiser, as I know they will appreciate every cent received. And I will be very grateful for your contribution too!

Autistic children often face various challenges around communication, social interaction, and sensory sensitivities that may make it difficult for them to engage in activities that neurotypical children thrive in. I love that Ocean Heroes provides a safe and fun enviroment for autistic children to develop confidence and connection with other peers through their free surf classes organised around Australia. Running these events is costly and relies heavily on community support. On 21 June 2025, I will go through my own challenge by attempting my first 100 miler ultra marathon, the Cape 2 Cape Ultra (https://www.cape2capeultra.com.au/), which will take me on an incredible journey from Augusta to Eagle Bay along the Cape 2 Cape track! I would like to take this challenge as an opportunity to give back to Ocean Heroes by fundraising for their great cause. I will be specifically fundraising for Ocean Heroes to purchase a new SUP surf board (valued at 2000 AUD), which will give another child the opportunity to participate in a free surf lesson. Thank you so much for supporting this cause, which is very close to my heart and I am sure many other Australians who are experiencing the challenges around Autism. I would be very grateful for you to share the link to this CrowdRaiser page to your friends and family. The more people who can help the better and maybe we can even raise enough for two surf boards! Thank you, Uli
