I'm stepping up for cancer!

By Elizabeth Johnson

Fundraising Lunch 19/04/2024

Today (19/04/2024) I got together with family, friends, work colleagues and neighbours to raise money for Mater Foundation.  We had a fabulous lunch at The Rustic Olive.

The Rustic Olive not only generously donated time, staff and food, they also donated more than half of the cost of the attendance price.  Thank you so much to Sam and the team for donating a whopping $975 to Mater Foundation.  The staff were amazing with both the food and service. 

I am also very grateful to all those who attended with $850 being raised via a raffle.  This is mind blowing!  You are all so very generous as are those individuals and companies who donated the raffle prizes. 

Again, thank you everyone for your ongoing support for this amazing cause

Happy 70th birthday to my father, who would have absolutely enjoyed both the meals and company today had he have been with us 

Mater Foundation Community Hero

What an honour (and a great way to start 2024)!
When I was told I was nominated as a Mater Foundation Community Hero, I was moved to tears. I never expect to receive accolades for my fundraising because it is done from the heart for the people I love.
I have been informed that since 2016 I have raised a total of $34,060 through my climbing for cancer fundraising. Wow! I am super proud of this effort!
Thank you for this honour Mater Foundation ❤
AND thank you to everyone who has supported me and continues to support me on this journey!
I have much more to give 👊
Special mention to Jacqui from Exposed Focus Photography who took some beautiful photos of me on the stairs for this special moment. I am so grateful for all the support you have provided over the years ❤

Containers for Change

Since the last Stadium Stomp on 16 July 2023, over 8,000 recyclables have been donated to my fundraising.  Today I have donated $861.30 to Mater Foundation due to the kindness of my family, friends, neighbours, work colleagues at HQ and the staff at Redcliffe Police Station.  Thank you all so much for continuing to support this wonderful cause 😊  

Annual Body Shop at Home Fundraiser

A big shout out to everyone who supported my annual Body Shop at Home fundraiser.  Over $400 worth of product was purchased to be used for fundraising purposes in 2024.  Further, I have donated my commission of $272.  A special thank you goes to Corinne who year after year supports this fundraiser and shows us all some beautiful products.  Much love to you all xx

100,000 stair challenge - COMPLETED!!!!

I climbed a total of 108,664 stairs during October 2023. Unbelievable!
I could not have done it without my stair climbing friends who kept me motivated and laughing - you all ROCK!!!!
A big shout out to Livable Landscapes and Trueline Patios who were my major sponsors, donating $500 each. Further, a big thank you to my friends and family who sponsored me ❤️

$500 – Thank you Trueline

THANK YOU for your generous donation!

A big shout out to our patio builder who helped make our backyard project a dream come true.  Trueline were patient (we had weather delays), timely, friendly, and reliable.  They provided the exact patio that we wanted, with back wall (special order) and all.  Trueline worked alongside our other trades professionally, where required.  We are very happy with the finished product and would highly recommend Trueline for your next project 😊

2024 is all about YOU!

I will be stomping in 2024 for ALL of those in my circle who have had to endure the 'c' word.  I see you, I hear you, I will stomp for you!

$500 - Thank you Livable Landscapes QLD

THANK YOU for your donation and kickstarting my fundraising!  

A big shout out to our landscaper who made our backyard project a dream come true.  Livable Landscapes were patient (we had to reschedule a few times due to factors outside of our control), reliable, friendly, and most of all did an outstanding job with our concreting, pool fencing, retaining wall and a large amount of tiling.  We are so happy with the finished product and would highly recommend Livable Landscapes for your next project :)

100,000 stairs - October 2023

During the month of October 2023, I am going to climb 100,000 stairs.  That's 3,226 stairs per day, for 31 days!!!!

I am reaching out to businesses, to see if they would be willing to make a $100 donation (or more).  It's a lot of stairs, so I need a lot of encouragement.  

Please, climb on board in support of Mater Foundation.

I’m a Mater community champion and I’m raising much need funds for a cause close to my heart.

Over the past few years, I have been climbing my way up thousands of stairs to raise funds for cancer research.  I have been doing this to honour my late father, Michael Rosenthal, and those close to me who have been affected by cancer.  

On 16 July 2023, I climbed 10,000 stairs and raised $10,516 for Mater Foundation.  I was super excited to achieve both the physical and monetary goals for my father's 20-year anniversary.  

In 2024, I will be stomping again, not only to honour my late father, but all those close to me who have been impacted by cancer.  I will be stomping for my best friend, Nicole Bauer, her mother, Jenny Davidson, my late neighbour, Yvonne Kostuch, and many more beautiful people in my life such as family, friends, neighbours, and work colleagues.    

I am passionate about raising funds for cancer research, so that others may not have to experience what my family, and others have experienced in their lifetime.   I want to help Mater Foundation researchers improve the way we diagnose, treat and ultimately prevent cancer.  

Will you support me?
