[cs_content][cs_element_section _id=”1″ ][cs_element_layout_row _id=”2″ ][cs_element_layout_column _id=”3″ ][cs_element_text _id=”4″ ][cs_content_seo]We are a rallied group of locals who believe that healthy individuals and families is what make for a resilient, generous and happy community.  We believe that our ability to empower others starts with our personal wellness. So, we decided to volunteer our own talent and time to create a sustainable annual festival that benefits the community for the longer term.
The MY Mount Eliza festival is the brainchild of Mt Eliza local
Geoff Nyssen  who, in 2014 at the age of 40, was diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma, a terminal blood cancer. When Geoff was diagnosed, he was given just 10 short years to live, which was devastating news for him as well his wife Sarah, two young kids, his family and friends. Despite this adversity, Geoff has found the strength to lead by example and to give back to the community that has provided so much support to him.  Now in its fourth year, the MY Mount Eliza festival boasts the values that Geoff and the MY Mount Eliza committee believe form the foundation for an engaged and resilient community. Geoff says “This event is a perfect example of what a community can achieve. It shows that when someone suffers a significant personal setback, family, friends and community will rally in support of a shared goal to do good”.
#HelpGeoffTo80
For 2020, we have the ambitious goal of raising $80k for Snowdome Foundation!!  This is all in the pursuit of ‘Help Geoff to 80’. Over the past three years, the MY Mount Eliza Run & Fun Festival has raised over $130k for myeloma research and support.  We want to continue this amazing achievement.  So, to ‘HelpGeoffTo80’, we ask that you use the link below to set up your own fundraising page and raise much needed funds for Snowdome Foundation and for myeloma research.\n\n[/cs_content_seo][/cs_element_layout_column][cs_element_layout_column _id=”5″ ][cs_element_image _id=”6″ ][/cs_element_layout_column][/cs_element_layout_row][/cs_element_section][cs_element_section _id=”7″ ][cs_element_layout_row _id=”8″ ][cs_element_layout_column _id=”9″ ][cs_element_image _id=”10″ ][/cs_element_layout_column][/cs_element_layout_row][/cs_element_section][/cs_content]
