The Little Legs Foundation (LLF) held their annual gala event on September 10 and raised $651,000 on the night for children’s brain cancer research.
The event, now in its second year, was held at Doltone House in Sydney’s Pyrmont and was attended by 600 guests.
LLF Ambassador, Ben Fordham, was once again the emcee for the event and was joined by LLF Co-Founder, Sue Ellan Vasiliou, and her husband Marino.
Associate Professor Matt Dun, LLF Ambassadors House of Emmanuele, Sid Tapia and his wife Anna Mei, Tim Mannah from the Parramatta Eels and his wife Stephanie, Former Cronulla Sharks legend Luke Lewis’ wife Sonia – who is also an ambassador for Melanoma Institute of Australia – and Marcella Zemanek, also attended the event.
Sheldon Riley and violinist Sally Cooper put on dazzling performances on the night, and Dr Charlie Teo joined the room on two separate occasions via video message from where he is currently working between Spain and Germany.
The event raised almost $AUD500,000 in 2019 and now in its second year is proudly supporting and raising funds for research for a cure for children’s brain cancer.
Brain cancer kills more children in Australia than any other disease, yet it is the least funded and known about.
Little Legs Foundation is grateful for the support and generosity of all its sponsors, ambassadors and everyone that has contributed awareness and hope for the treatment of children’s brain cancer.
From September 23-25, the LLF is holding its annual event ‘Coffee for a Cure’ featuring the Daisy artwork of The Lust Lists Sally Sprat. Over 100 cafes are on board to serve their takeaways in LLF cups. The list of participating cafés can be found here www.llf.org.au/coming-up.
