Rory's Warriors

11/10/2026

Wow!! Thank you to the amazing Tannum/Boyne/Gladstone/Calliope community for your incredible support of our version of Connor's Run!!
A brilliant (albeit very warm and humid 🥵) morning to walk and run for paediatric brain cancer research.
The vibes were high, some blistering paces from our younger runners, and plenty of yummy breakfast enjoyed by all 😁
An enormous thank you to all who helped and donated 💰 and breakfast contributions 🥓🍳🥖🧁🍰
- especially for the farm fresh eggs from Builyan residents, John Austen and Barb McKee 🫶
Finally tally to come - but somewhere around the $2000 mark 🥹💙💛🙏
Link to donate in bio if you missed the day.

7 years ago today Rory completed 68 weeks of chemotherapy to treat his brain cancer. Our good friend Nicole Eglinton sent 68 balloons to celebrate 🥳
Feeling so very grateful that Rory hasn't required any further cancer treatment to date 🙏

This post did have a caption originally - not sure what happens to them?!!
Connor's Run Melbourne today - our 9th year. It didn't disappoint - the weather, the atmosphere, the smiles, the fundraising, the kit kats, the friends.....

Rory scootered the 9.6km and enjoyed the finish line party as always.

What you don't see is the hour long nap at the after party, the nap on the train and the very quiet afternoon playing with lego. Brain cancer never goes away, and it continues to impact Rory's life every day.

Just another reason why this day is so important.

Rory is at Connor's Run!!!
He's once again scooting - adorned as always in his champion Cape 🦸‍♂️
He would love a little donation for his fundraising Page- link in stories 🙌🫶🧠💙

Today Rory visited the Education Low Vision Assessment Centre in Brisbane. After questioning specialists for 6+ years about his particular impairment, it was a relief to have our parental observations validated.
But more importantly, to identify the exact areas of visual perception Rory struggles the most with: contrast and biological movements the worst.
This knowledge will be shared with his teaching team at TannumSHS to better enable his learning, allowing Rory to make even more use of his incredible brain 🧠

With only 4 days to go until the official Connor's Run - now is the best opportunity to make your donation!
Donation matching is on again - so every dollar you donate is DOUBLED 🙌💙 We would love to get to $5000 this year 🫶
Rory is back in Brisbane today for more appointments, check ups and tests. Because even though he was diagnosed over 8 years ago, and has been off treatment for over 6, brain cancer is the gift that never ends.
We have 17 people in our team - not too late to join in the fun! Link in bio and story 💛🩵
