Bridge to Brisbane Fun Run

     

Leon Stark has kindly offered to collect sponsorship for Cherish Life Queensland for his participation in the 10km Bridge to Brisbane Fun Run being held on Sunday 30th August 2009.

The monies raised will go towards supplying each student — at the schools visited by Cherish Life — with either Precious Feet or Precious Hands pins. These are a great educational tool and makes life in the womb a reality for them.
