On Wednesday the 6th of November, the Foundation’s generous supporters came together at HOTA, Home of the Arts, on the Gold Coast for the ‘Everything Is Possible’ end of year thank you celebration.
It was a wonderful night shared with donors, volunteers, suppliers, partners, ambassadors and stakeholders. We gathered to celebrate a remarkable year of fundraising and the start of the human clinical trial.
We were honoured to have a special guest speaker this year – Mark Mathews who is an acclaimed Australian big wave surfer, RedBull athlete, and doting father to two young girls. A three time Oakley Big Wave award winner, Mark has become internationally renowned for his bravado in tackling the world’s biggest waves. Leveraging lessons learnt from his extraordinary surfing career, Mark has now become an award winning keynote speaker, providing insights on building resilience, conquering fear, and accessing potential.
Mark’s presentation was very emotional and honest and the crowd loved it.
Thank you to our presenters, PCSRF Chairman Tom Ray, Professor James St John from Griffith University (via video), Perry Cross and of course Mark Mathews.
All of our guests received a copy of our 2023/2024 Annual Report, kindly printed by Chad Lemming from Nova Press.
Special thanks to our Foundation Platinum Sponsors, Tori and Tash Buatava and the CareMatch team, Martin Hogan and the Molmike Medical team, Ryan Holsheimer and the Admiralty Capital Group team and Dan Marino from Hickey Lawyers and team.
