We are incredibly grateful to be part of such a wonderful community where everyone supports and cares for one another. A sincere thank you to Jenna, Anna and Jodi for their involvement and support of this meaningful cause.

Together, we raised $630 through Franklin's Wood-Fired Pizza fundraiser, and the full amount has been transferred directly to Leo's mum's account.

Also, the Motorsport Raffle, sponsored by Cargo Coordinators and Drive Supercars, raised $1,040. The support from everyone who purchased tickets from the Franklin was greatly appreciated."

We have also organised another fundraising event, 80's & 90's Rewind, on the 20th June. Let's come together once again and make it another great success. All ticket proceeds will go directly to Leo's family.
