Amy Needs Our Support

Amy Lever a Fitness Instructor at Dolphins Health Precinct needs our support. 

On Saturday 15th of March Amy is asking us all to dig in our pockets and give to the Leukaemia Foundation.

While others maybe looking at the latest styles and colours for their hair, Amy is preparing to shave hers off in the hope of curing cancer. 

Amy a Fitness Instructor at Dolphins Health Precinct announced to her family and work mates

"I'm taking part in the Leukaemia Foundation's World's Greatest Shave to support a family member in his brave journey with cancer," she said. 

When asked about her participation for the upcoming Shave for a Cure, Amy responded with an answer that should make us all think. 

"Everyone has been effected some way by cancer, not everyone has the same type and although it may differ from leukaemia (the Leukaemia Foundation is running the World's Greatest Shave), but the money raised through shaving my head will help fund cancer research and support those with blood cancer.  

"Every day 31 people in Australia will get the news that they have blood cancer.” 

"My donations raised will help the Leukaemia Foundation support these people from the moment they are diagnosed - whether it's by building a home-away-from-home, or even transport to and from treatment." 

Amy will be shaving her head at 2pm on Saturday 15th March at Mon Komo Hotel World’s Greatest Shave event, in the hopes of raising funds. 

You can help her reach her goal by sponsoring Amy's shave and making a donation at:

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.
