I can't imagine how awful it would be to not have them close by.” Brigid said the aim is to donate more than $22,000 to charity this year, so that families can be together when they most need to be. “We are calling on everyone who is fit and well to celebrate their good health and sign up for this year's Byron Bay Lighthouse Run. We have options for either the run and for a walk. Let's get all of our healthy families to support those not so lucky.”
