Just Beat It ! Team update 1 July 2024

Hello family and friends of the Just Beat It! Team,

So how did this all come about? Committing to walking kilometres in the Heartbreak to Hope walk for RedKite, good question. My lovely friend and neighbour, Mali thought we should do it and raise funds for families that have a child with cancer. I thought why not, so asked friends to join our team, and thankful Linda was in. 

So we are a team of 3, how far do you think we walked during June. We walked to Sydney and back, yes a mammoth 528kms, unbelievable. Thank you team.

So how full is the Just Beat It ! Team bucket, pretty full, but there is still some room in there, LOL. I am very excited to share with you, thanks to our generous donors, JJ, ( he is a drummer and even plays the drums on pizza boxes )  drum roll please, it has reached an astonishing $16, 240. And we are chuffed.

If you would like to know more about the amazing work that RedKite do for families who have a child with cancer, you can find out more at https://www.redkite.org.au/how-we-help/ our services/

Our fund raising page will remain open for another month if anyone would like to donate.

We are 2nd on the leaders board, amazing work for a team of 3, thank you Linda and Mali, well done team

Thank you everyone. Remember your kindness will change someone’s world and the Just Beat It! Team can’t do it without you. 

Hope all or some of you will join our team next year

Many thanks Juani, Linda and Mali

So how full is the Just Beat It! Team bucket for RedKite, it’s pretty full, but there is more room in the bucket LOL. I am very excited to share with you all, thanks to our generous donors, drum roll please, it has reached an astonishing $16, 240. We are chuffed.

18 June - Just ‘Beat It Team ! Bulletin, mandatory reading for friends and family LOL

Good Evening family and friends,

Good news ! The ‘ Just Beat It ! Team has walked 437 kms to date for the Heartbreak to Hope ‘ walk and team member Linda is smashing it. She has walked 144 km in 18 days, amazing, well done Linda. She has only 6kms to go to reach her target of 150 kms, ( oh I hate you in a nice way ). Linda has agreed to walk extra kms to raise more $$$$ for RedKite, so please if you can, help please do.

So how is the Just Beat It ! Team bucket going to ensure RedKite can continue their vital work with families that have a child with cancer. I am excited, in fact very excited, we the Just Beat Team ! cannot express our thanks to our generous donors enough. Drum roll please. We have an amazing $10,368 in our bucket. Woohoo, thank you to all that have donated. Would be wonderful if we could get the bucket to $11,000 to help this very needed charity.

THANK YOU EVERYONE from the awesome Just Beat Team, second on the ladder,  that’s great, we are just three and changing lives 

Day16 - NEWS FLASH - Team Update

Amazingly, thank you to all our generous donors, the “Just Beat It ! Team’s $$$$ tally has reached an astonishing $9,745 woohoo. Can we make it $10,000? Here’s hoping, to support the vital work of RedKite.

And you must be wondering about the kms tally, Mali, Linda and I have walked 316kms in 16 days. Who would have thought the ‘Just Beat It ! Team could be so committed. Thank you Mali and Linda for your tenacity and persistence in getting very close to your goals. WELL DONE TEAM !!!!

11 June Just Beat It ! Team update

Hello Family and friends, thanks for your for support to the Just Beat It ! Team during our walk for Heartbreak to Hope, for your generous donations to help RedKite continue to provide their essential services to families who have a child suffering cancer .

Linda and Mali we are smashing it. Thanks so much to all our supporters, you are awesome. Linda has smashed her fundraising goal as I have, thank you everyone for your kindness. The Just Beat It ! Has raised $8,070,  woohoo.  Team has walked 206 km and we need to complete 400km.

The weather was revolting in Canberra today, bitterly cold some rain and overcast. Walked some of Lake Ginninderra with my friend Barry. It was so cold I had five layers on the top half of my body and two layers on my legs, yuk. 

Managed 10 kms yippee.

Big shout out to Gail Cantle who has been in my life for a millón years. Thank you for supporting my Heartbreak to Hope walk, your generosity and the gift of my very loud pink rain coat. Love it, not a colour I would have picked.

Just Beat It ! Team update 6 June

I want to express the “Just Beat It ! Team’s gratitude for your support to the HeartBreak to Hope walk and helping families find the support they need in the face of their child’s cancer diagnosis and journey ( an unpleasant one)

Because of you and your generosity, RedKite can be there every step of the way and provide hope to these families.

You truly are making a difference and the “Just Beat It ! Team cannot express their thanks sufficiently 

Day 4 Just Beat It Team Update

Sorry too tired to provide an update . Bitterly cold on my walk today, revolting

Support our walk for children facing cancer.

Every month in Australia, 88 children are diagnosed with cancer. 

For those families, their lives are changed forever. Cancer puts families under enormous pressure. It can feel like it’s impossible to hold it together.

This June, we are taking part in the Heartbreak to Hope Walk to raise funds for Redkite to provide emotional, financial and practical support and care to families facing childhood cancer.

Please sponsor our team by making a donation to support our walk. 

Together, we can show these children and their families that they don't have to face cancer alone and support them as they face the toughest time of their lives.

Thank you.

Thank you to our Sponsors
