Stepping Up

By Elizabeth Johnson

Q1 Stair Challenge 2026

Hayden and I will be taking on Q1 again on Sunday 23 August. We will be climbing our way up 77 floors to SkyPoint's epic 230-metre-high summit.  

And the locs are gone!

Thank you Elliott for shaving your head for Mater Foundation.  You raised over $2,500 for cancer research and you are now sporting a new hair-do which really suits you. Liz xx

Have you heard the news?

After eight years, my youngest brother Elliott has FINALLY decided to cut off the dreads.

On 24 December 2025 Elliott will lose his locs.

Elliott has decided to take this opportunity to raise money for Mater Foundation through my 2026 fundraising page. (You are a legend Elliott!)

This is a BIG DEAL for Elliott, so I am calling on my family and those that know Elliott to help us raise much needed funds for cancer research.

Will you support Elliott?

_________________________________________

I’m a Mater Community Champion and I’m raising much needed funds for a cause close to my heart.

Everyone knows someone who has been diagnosed with cancer, or even worse, lost someone to cancer.  I personally have lost a loving member of my family (my father), and almost my best friend.  I am passionate about raising funds for cancer research, so that others may not have to experience what I, and others have experienced in their lifetime.  

I have been climbing thousands of stairs for many years raising funds for Mater Foundation. I love it! But guess what? My family will be joining me on the journey this year – stay tuned!

We are STEPPING UP in 2026 to support Mater Foundation.

Will you STEP UP and support us?
