Personal message

PLEASE support  me, 15 year old cancer fighter, LUCA GROSSE [#LucaBringerOfLIGHT], and my family with our IT STARTS WITH ME Optimist dinghy in The Great Optimist Race, happening on 19 October 2019, and help us not only make it first across the finishing line, but also onto the Fundraising Leaderboard. Help us raise money for our charity as, with dad Stefan as skipper, we go head to head with 35 other LITTLE OPTIMISTS in the most unique charity event of the year - the The Great Optimist Race 2019. Every boat will be sailing to raise money for their chosen charity and the Little Optimist Trust. Every donation, no matter how big or small, will help kids survive and thrive.. 

More about our charity:
Our aim is to help raise R10 000 plus for one of Luca's favourite charity’s, The Sunflower Fund's PATIENT SUPPORT FUND. Being in the race to beat cancer ourselves with Luca in year three of his 4 year daily chemo protocol, we believe that we can help other patients and their families to join us to #WEareBeatingTheHellOutOfCANcer
