This Sunday, the Gillin Boys Foundation's Walk 4 A Cure will take place at 10 am, leaving from the Lady Bay Resort. So, for all those who aren't doing the Port Fairy marathon, make sure you get down to Lady Bay at 10 o'clock on Sunday for a wonderful, wonderful cause. The Gillin Boys Foundation—started by Chris and Aaron and now led by Chris; sadly, Aaron passed away in 2017 from muscular dystrophy—is all about raising awareness for muscular dystrophy. It is a wonderful cause. I say to Chris, you are an absolute inspiration in the way that you have kept the Gillin Boys Foundation going, raising much-needed funds and awareness. Over $500,000 has now been raised to go to institutions like the Murdoch Children's Research Institute to do much-needed research. I can't be there because I'll be running the Port Fairy marathon, but I wish you all the best, Chris. I encourage everyone who can to please get down there and support. I still have my green laces. Get green laces on and make sure you're there doing everything you can to raise awareness and funds for muscular dystrophy. Well done, Chris.
