Thank you to all the supporters of the Amazing Raise 10 November 2025
The Amazing Raise wasn’t just about the challenges, it was about making a difference.
Paul summed it up perfectly
"Taking part in the Amazing Raise with 'Leighs Lightning' was an awesome experience. It challenged us in all sorts of ways—quick thinking, teamwork, and plenty of physical effort! Especially the go-karts, where we were burning up the quarter mile and having a blast. But more than that, it reminded us why we were doing it. Thinking about the families who spend days, weeks, or even months in the NICU really puts things into perspective. It was a great mix of fun, connection, and purpose—and I’m proud we could support such an important cause."
