JOIN Donna Kerr and Noah Tebbutt of Leongatha tomorrow, November 2, at the Cranbourne Harness Racing Club as they represent Daniel’s Wings of Pride at the Cranbourne Family Day and Walk Against ICE Campaign 2024 (10am - 4pm).
The incredible team behind Daniel’s Wings of Pride are working tirelessly in South Gippsland to curb the rising suicide rate among young men and boys. They will be setting up a space at the free event tomorrow aimed at empowering teens, parents, guardians, and support people with vital tools and resources to combat bullying, identify risks, and foster resilience in LGBTQI+ youth.
Donna, alongside other members of Daniel’s family and close friends, have been working closely with the leadership team and Paul Withall at Zerosuicide Community Awareness Program, providing invaluable guidance in the lead-up to tomorrow’s big event.
Donna founded Daniel’s Wings of Pride after losing her son to suicide last year and is determined to help others by sharing Daniel’s story and providing support to those who need it most.
With enormous support from local businesses in South Gippsland, enter the raffle for a chance to win over $1000 in prizes, with winners to be drawn between 3 and 3.30pm.
Merchandise and LGBTQI+ Show Bags will also be available, with all proceeds going directly back into Daniel’s Wings of Pride.
