Forever 7 Mission, For Sweet Georgia Brown 🌈 💜

What an incredible show of love, strength and community.

After seven weeks of dedication, the Forever 7 Mission at Reborn Fitness has come to an emotional and inspiring finish, bringing people together to honour Georgia’s memory, celebrate her legacy and raise funds and awareness for paediatric brain cancer.

A heartfelt thank you to the entire Reborn Fitness community, everyone who took part in the seven-week challenge and those who came along for the final push.

Georgia’s impact continues to reach far beyond those who knew her, inspiring a community to come together and make a difference. by @rcdfoundation

Every pair of shoes tells a story. Some belong to people still fighting. Others belong to those heartbreakingly no longer with us.

Yesterday, the Great Hall at Parliament House was filled with shoes, stories and a powerful call for change at Head to the Hill 2026.

Patients, families, carers, researchers, clinicians and advocates came together with one shared purpose: to improve outcomes for people affected by brain cancer.

Together, the brain cancer community called on the Australian Government to prioritise a national research and clinical trials roadmap, equitable access to specialist support and trials, and sustainable funding for advocacy.

We were proud to have RCD Foundation’s Head of Research, Dr Kim Wark, among the speakers, lending her voice to this important national conversation.

Thank you to Brain Tumour Alliance Australia (BTAA), the Australian Brain Tumour Collaborative and every advocate who shared their story, honoured a loved one or helped bring these important conversations to Parliament. taken in Parliament House, Canberra by @rcdfoundation

Wow!! Thank you to the amazing Tannum/Boyne/Gladstone/Calliope community for your incredible support of our version of Connor's Run!!

A brilliant (albeit very warm and humid 🥵) morning to walk and run for paediatric brain cancer research.
.
The vibes were high, some blistering paces from our younger runners, and plenty of yummy breakfast enjoyed by all 😁
.
An enormous thank you to all who helped and donated 💰 and breakfast contributions 🥓🍳🥖🧁🍰
- especially for the farm fresh eggs from Builyan residents, John Austen and Barb McKee 🫶
.
Finally tally to come - but somewhere around the $2000 mark 🥹💙💛🙏

Cam Coleman is joining the cause.

For the rest of the season, Cam will also be donating $100 for every passing and rushing TD he scores to the Robert Connor Dawes Foundation.

Together, we’ve already raised almost $6,000 supporting American and Australian childhood brain cancer research and families affected by it.

The link to donate is in my bio.

Thank you to everyone for your continuous support 💛💛 taken in James Madison University by @rcdfoundation

🚗 What’s the ultimate prize for a hole-in-one? A BMW, of course.

We’re thrilled to welcome @col_crawford_bmw back as the generous sponsor of our Hole-in-One Prize at this year’s Connor’s Golf Classic at Elanora Country Club on November 23rd.

The big question is... which BMW model will be waiting on Hole #7 this year? 👀

A huge thank you to the team at Col Crawford BMW for once again supporting our event and helping make the day one to remember.

Stay tuned... we’ll be revealing the prize car very soon. ⛳🚘💙 by @rcdfoundation
