Mitchies Jetty and Fishpen Charters Sponsorship

Wednesday 26th Feb

I would like to welcome on board as a Bronze sponsor of my Bravehearts in July this year Mitchies Jetty / Fishpen Charters 


Mitchies Jetty is one of the most iconic and photographed places on the far south coast. It is a gathering place for families and friends to enjoy a morning coffee and a yummy treat while making the most of the sun, sand and water.


It also caters for those looking for a little adventure in the form of kayaking, stand up paddle boarding or heading out on a fishing charter with Scott and his crew. Fishpen Charters has been operating for the last 30 years from Mitchies Jetty in Merimbula specialising in reef and bottom fishing as well as whale watching.


Through the generous support of Scott, Chelsea and their family my tally has now climbed over $21000! I would love to see this tally continue to grow and help support the valuable work that Bravehearts does for Australian children.

Catering for a bistro night

Tuesday 17th Dec

Wow!! What a night!! 🤯


I am grateful to have been given the opportunity to serve my food to the masses who went out to the Bega Country Club last Friday night. 


All profit from catering for the night goes towards my fundraising goal for Bravehearts @777marathon 


In July 2025 I will be running 

  • 7 marathons 
  • in 7 days 
  • in 7 states 

to support Bravehearts for the work they do for those who have experienced child sexual abuse 


A “full house” saw just over $1500 in profit go towards my tally! 


A massive thank you goes to Jason, Jeff, Col, Eric, Lyn and Tammy for their assistance on the night. Thanks also to Paddy from the Club for gifting me this wonderful opportunity. 


We put out approximately 120 meals:

  • Pulled pork rolls 
  • Pulled pork loaded fries 
  • Smash burgers  
  • Smoked sausages 
  • Lasagne 
  • Nuggets and chips


We are “on” again next Friday night. For my Bega friends I recommend you call the Country Club early to book a table on 6492 1570. With this being the final night to get a ham before Christmas from the raffles it will be another packed house!  


Thank you also to Tracey Gottaas for her amazing support. Tracey has not only made regular donations but also arranged a raffle which was drawn during the night (raising another $200)! 


We have now managed to raise just over $9100! Thank you to everyone who has donated or helped me in anyway so far. 😊

Golf charity day catering event

Tuesday 26th Nov
Thank you to everyone who bought some food at Sunday’s event. I was appreciative of the opportunity to cater at the Bega Valley Emergency Services for SPAN (Suicide Prevention Area Network) Charity Golf Day. Profit from my catering for the day means another $300 goes towards my fundraising goal for Bravehearts @777marathon It would not have been possible without the help and generous assistance from Michelle, Tim and Gerard. December will be a busy month with catering locked in for: * Bega Men’s Golf Presentation * Friday night bistro at the Bega Country Club on Friday 13th and 20th December My fundraising has now ticked over $6200 and continues onwards towards my (minimum) goal of $11000. If you would like to support Bravehearts and the fantastic work they do for children please go through my link. All donations over $2 are tax deductible and are greatly appreciated. https://fundraise.bravehearts.org.au/fundraisers/GlennEdmonds/777national2025 #Bravehearts #777 #777Marathon #777Marathon2025 #Run4Kids #7772025 #ProtectKids

A successful weekend…

Sunday 13th Oct

Thank you to everyone who made the last three days a total success! 


I was (along with a bunch of helpers) given the opportunity to cater at the Bega Country Club for the regular Friday night bistro crowd and then the two days of the Bega Men’s Open. All profits from these days will go towards my fundraising efforts for the @777marathon raising much needed funds for Bravehearts. A little stressful at times during preparation (to say the least 😂) but it was great to put my love of cooking towards my fundraising goal. 


It would not have been possible without the support of so many people:


  • Paddy, Jason and Robbo from the club and committee for giving me the opportunity 
  • my band of helpers over the last few days :
  • Carol, Garry, Brendan, Eric and Tammy on Friday night
  • Gus on Saturday 
  • Elyse on Sunday
  • to everyone who made extra donations over the days 


Together we put out a heap of meals with preliminary results showing a profit of around $2000 which will go to my tally. 


Thank you to all who supported and made the weekend a huge success!

Introduction:

Sunday 1st Sep
My name is Glenn, I am 53 years old and reside in Bega on the far south coast of New South Wales.  I am a sales representative giving me the opportunity to travel daily throughout our picturesque region.  I am also involved with our local running club Sapphire Coast Runners and volunteer two afternoons per week coaching children and passing on the joy of running and movement.

Although I have been a runner for most of my life, this is the first time that I have set myself a goal of this magnitude.  I am looking forward to challenging myself both physically and by fundraising to raise further awareness for the prevention and treatment of child sexual abuse.

I would be grateful to anyone who is able to assist me in reaching my $$$ fundraising target by donating today.
