Trooper is a 4-5 month old puppy who was found curled up in bushes in a local park. He was severely emaciated and had substantial injuries consistent with having been repeatedly attacked. He had nasty wounds to his ears, head, neck and has some serious infections which is tiny body was struggling to fight. Trooper was found and taken to a Vet Clinic. Given his terrible condition, euthanasia was considered, but this gentle little man showed that he wanted a chance to be loved. He was named because he is a Little Trooper 💖 Trooper needs our suppawt to give him every thing he will need. He is now getting premium nutrition and lots of small regular meals. He is on pain relief and antibiotics to help him heal. He is scheduled for surgery later this week to address the large gaping, infected wounds on his ears. We already know that as a minimum, parts of his ears will need to be amputated as the skin is necrotic. We are hopeful he will still have cute little ears but will love him regardless of his ear status. What happened to Trooper did not happen overnight, this poor gentle and loving baby has been fending for himself and hiding from predators for quite some time. We are so grateful to the person who found him and got him to safety. As soon as we got the call from one of our amazing Vets, we committed to take Trooper on and make sure he gets EVERYTHING he needs. Trooper is currently in temporary foster with a Hero Vet Nurse who he loves very much. Now we ask you to help us put together a "Trust Fund for Trooper", he needs to be showered in love after everything he has been through. We will provide updates on Trooper on our page. Please keep our special little man in your thoughts ❤️‍🩹

I will be raising money for the Arrow Bone Marrow Transplant Foundation. If you like show some support than it would be greatly appreciated. I have gone past my goal amount for each km that I paddle so now j am trying to get as much as possible. I am raising funds for Hawkesbury Canoe Classic because I am inspired by their work.

On October 26th Kate and Steve will be paddling the Hawkesbury Canoe Classic. A kayak race on the Hawkesbury River which runs 111km from Windsor to Brooklyn. The race starts at 5pm and we hope to reach the finish line at around 3am. It will be dark, and we won't be using lights to navigate. Why? Because the Hawkesbury Canoe Classic raises funds for The Arrow Foundation which provides funding for patient services and research for Australians with blood diseases like Leukaemia. This year, we are dedicating our paddle and fund raising efforts to Steve's good friend and workmate Wendy Berrill who has been valiantly battling cancer for several years. Wendy has been admitted to hospital this week for what she believes may be the final time. After the event, we want to present Wendy's husband Alex and two young children a certificate acknowledging the donations made in her name. In 1976 the 10 year survival rate for Leukaemia patients was 7%. 40 Years later thanks in part to the types of research funded by The Hawkesbury Canoe Classic and partner Arrow Foundation it had climbed to 47%. 47% There is still so much more work to be done. Through your donation, you can help make that work possible. Steve & Kate

On 21 September, whilst more than 100 ranger teams are all running a 21 km half marathon in their wildlife reserves, their supporters will be walking/running for 5 or 10 km. World Ranger Challenge, a TUSK Trust initiative, Royal patron, Prince William, and their main sponsor, Scheinberg Relief Fund, have already committed many millions to African rangers. In return, all beneficiary projects are being asked to further raise some funds, which will be matched by Scheinberg Fund. Hence, my walk. At 80 years of age, I won’t have walked 4 km for quite some while, so it will be an effort to do so. But it’s for the rangers and must be done! In return, please can I ask all our 350 members to sponsor me for a modest $30 or so, or more if you wish, please? I’ve set a reasonably high target of $15,000 and look forward to your support please. Rangers walk about 20 km per day for a monthly pay of $300. This is the least we can all do for the men at the coalface of rhino conservation, the 55 dedicated rangers of Save Valley Conservancy. And remember, everything you give will be matched, and thus DOUBLED, so please dig deep. 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, Nicholas

Mummy’s Wish walks in the shoes of around 1,000 mums with cancer every year and relies on the support of fundraising campaigns to deliver important services. Mummy's Wish provide tailored, practical support for Mum's diagnosed with cancer in Australia each year with children under 13 years. Their support helps to lift the practical burden off mums so they can spend more precious moments with their families. On the 12th of October 2024 we are taking on Walsh's Pyramid (for the 5th year) - the highest free-standing natural pyramid in the world - hiking for Mum's with cancer and raising money and awareness for Mummy's Wish because we are inspired by their work and we know so many others would benefit from their support. The hike is special for many of us as we hike in memory of Annette Azzopardi, to celebrate her strength and determination and who value the work of Mummy's Wish. Since Annette first completed the hike to raise money for Mummy's Wish in 2018, her story has inspired others around Australia to hike for Mums with cancer and overall has raised $31,276 for Mummy's Wish to continue their work ❤️ Read Annette's story. We also hike for Mum's undergoing treatment, to celebrate those who have survived, and in memory of those we have lost. Please consider donating to our hike as every small amount counts. Thanks so much for supporting us!

1 in 20 children in Australia experience the death of a parent before their 18th birthday; that's at least 1 child in every school classroom across Australia. Wombat's Wish supports children and families during this unimaginable time. Wombat's Wish provides weekend grief programs for kids and the surviving parent/carer, counselling sessions, online support lounges, and family social days all at no cost to the attendees. As a member of this amazing team I personally see the wonderful impact our programs have on the kids and families who attend! Being a Camp Leader has been a highlight of my social work career. Your support means that 100% of donations will directly fund our support programs and camps for children, teens, and guardians. I pledge to run 50 laps of the Portarlington Cricket Club oval to raise funds for Wombat's Wish to ensure this program continues to impact every family in need. I also invite you to join our community event: Sunday 17th November 2024 (10am - 3pm) at Portarlington Cricket Club. This is a family day with entertainment, live music, market stalls, children's entertainment, raffle, silent auctions and much more. Thank you so much!
