A great success: Beautiful You Cancer Charity Spin-A-Thon


Some of the Spin-a-thon Team

Amanda and Debbie (founder of Beautiful You Cancer Charity)

Out of a passionate plea from Amanda Mensforth Fitness Instructor at Dolphins Health Precinct to help women and their families that are living with cancer. Her vision of a spin-a-thon with a cause was developed. 

Focusing around the charity Beautiful You. “Beautiful You” is a program that focuses on helping women and their families living with cancer. Their aim is to provide practical, financial or emotional support. Wanting to help families lead a normal life and trying to make a difference no matter how small. 

Through her passion and enthusiasm Amanda rallied her team, and then called in friends, canvassed local businesses and rallied teams on Facebook turning Saturday 21st into a wonderful success. Dolphins Health Precinct donated the room and facilities for the day, local shops and businesses donated prizes, gave donations and the teams donated their sponsored energy. It was amazing to see the joy and passion that comes from giving, the smiles on everyone’s faces showed on the day. 

The days' effort is still being collated but from the quick calculation on the day it has exceeded expectations (approx. $6000). Well done to Amanda and the teams and thank you to all who donated their time, money and prizes to this wonderful cause. 

Every dollar donated does make a difference. If you would like to donate to this wonderful charity please go to this link www.beautiful-you.com.au.
