This Sunday will see the ‘Run For The Kids’ take over the streets of Melbourne (much like the weather did last weekend).

The race, conducted annually to raise money for our Royal Children’s Hospital, takes competitors on a rather scenic 14.6 kilometre (that’s right folks – 14.6 kilometre) course starting at Kings Domain, through the Domain Tunnel over the Bolte Bridge back into the city via the Docklands, past the Arts Centre and finishing up where they started.

This year’s run sees National Pharmacies step up as a major sponsor and anyone that knows CUBED knows we’re always up for supporting a client – particularly when it’s for a good cause. In fact it’s the sixth children’s charity we’ve helped out in the last 12 months.

So joining 29,996 other runners will be The CUBED team, consisting of Production Manager Brendan “Lone Wolf” Hanrahan, Art Director Daniel “The Kid” Gretch, Account Manager Laura “Bunny” Campbell and Creative Director Dave “Old Man” Scott.

Though Laura is unwilling to state publicly what time we should expect from her, Dan and Brendan are a safe bet for no more than an hour 15, whereas Dave is already making excuses in case he’s still not finished until next Tuesday.

If you’re in the area, pop on down and give them a cheer, or if you’d like to donate a couple of dollars to the Royal Children’s Hospital yourself and support a great cause without having to get blisters just click here.

After a 12 month fundraising campaign which included an Eat for a Cure dinner event, several Bunnings Sausage Sizzles, a Poker night, the popular Destroy-The-Susan-Boyle-CD event and a movie night, it was finally time for the CUBED “Campaigners for a Cure”  to hop on their bikes and take part in the JDRF Ride for a Cure around the Barossa Valley.

On Saturday 16 January, our team of ten riders took on the challenge of riding 160km or 80km up and down the hills of the Barossa. A very tough day but made all the more worthwhile with a tour of the wineries the following day.

CUBED were the largest fundraising team in Vic raising almost $70k.

Special thanks once again to our major donors and sponsors – AXA, Dennis Family Homes, Myer, National Pharmacies, Pegasus and University of Ballarat.
