FOUNDATION
For healthier, happier children

In November 2006, John and Justine Perkins tragically lost their baby daughter Olivia, at just 8 months old, to a rare illness. Their life, as they knew it, came crashing down with the immense sadness and numerous other mixed emotions that followed. This most devastating time of John and Justine's life however has brought with it new meaning. A gift, if you like, with a message - a message to positively enhance the lives of children and their families in a significant way.

Founding the Touched by Olivia Foundation is a step towards realising the dream that will become Olivia's legacy. In her short life, Olivia touched many hearts. It is John and Justine's hope that Olivia will continue to touch many more lives through the work undertaken by the Foundation.

What a fantastic night was had by all! We would like to thank everyone that came along for their wonderful support - without you all, the night would not be possible.

Around 700 guests attended and they were entertained by the high profile entertainment from the wonderful Damien Leith, and the talented Lochie Daddo . Check out Damiens new cd - Catch the Wind. Click here.

Craig Lowndes and Jamie Whincup attended and many other people came along to help us meet our goal of raising over $200,000. We'll post final results here shortly, but preliminary figures look like we've exceeded our goals.
