"Cause I Can" Judith Cantor's fundraising projects

Closure

I was recently invited to attend the graduation of some 20 or 30 teenage girls at risk who had been through Life Changing Experiences Foundations' SISTER2sister program. This was the charity I chose to support in August when I participated in City2Surf.

It was one of the most moving experiences I've had in a long time! If only I'd known to take tissues with me.

Each girl had to take to the podium and give a speech about her year in the program and the changes it had enabled her to make. Not only have some of the estranged girls reconciled with their families, but one of them who was a habitual truant and drug user is now in the top tier of her English class at school and has decided to study to be a psychologist. Talk about life changing!

Congratulations to Jess, her team and all the big sisters for making such a difference to all these little sisters, and the face of the future of Australia.

Another not-for-profit event close to my heart that came to a close recently was Sculpture by the Sea. Every year I marvel at the artists' creativity and, even after five years of volunteering, it's an exhibition I really look forward to. The combination of free art, the exquisite landscape and community is unbeatable!

I went along at dawn on the last day to take some photos. Here are a few of my favourites.
