Sydney stars come out in force for Sony Foundation's Youth Cancer campaign
Sydney stars come out in force for Sony Foundation's Youth Cancer campaign; Wharf4Ward raises money for cancer...
More than 800 guests attended the Wharf4Ward lunch today to raise much needed money for 'You Can', a national fundraising and awareness campaign set up by Sony Foundation and CanTeen to raise much-needed funds for specialised youth cancer care and services around the country.
Fresh off the plane from London, the fabulous Sapphires star Jessica Mauboy will be joining in the festivities and performed in front of the who's who of Sydney society down at Woolloomooloo Wharf and its six world-class restaurants.
The lunch raises money for You Can, a national fundraising and awareness campaign set up by Sony Foundation and CanTeen to raise much-needed funds for specialised youth cancer care and services around the country.
Guests enjoyed a spectacular afternoon of entertainment from national and international Sony music artists including Jessica Mauboy, Hot Chelle Rae, Justice Crew, and Timomatic, as well as a performance from the X Factor finalists.
A range of hosts from each major network, which all support Sony Foundation as corporate partners, was involved in the lunch. Nine Network's Peter Overton, Georgie Gardner and Richard Wilkins and Network Ten's Natarsha Belling and Hamish McDonald tooks part in day.
The guest list included Ronan Keating, Charlotte Dawson, Laura Dundovic, James Kerley, Kerri-Ann Kennerly, Nikki Phillips, Didier Cohen and Karl Stefanovic.
"This sell-out event has become one of the hottest tickets on Sydney's calendar. Not only is it fabulously fun, it also raises much needed funds for the 'forgotten generation' of cancer sufferers - teenagers and young adults. Thanks to the success of past Sony Foundation Wharf4Ward lunches, You Can is able to provide age-appropriate support and care for young cancer patients who previously have fallen into a gap in our health care system. Last year, we raised $550,000 for youth cancer and we are hoping to beat that total in 2012," said Sony Foundation CEO Sophie Ryan.
Currently, in Australia, the gap between paediatric and adult cancer care means teenagers and young adults rarely receive specialised treatment which in turn impacts their survival rates. 'You Can' was established to address the gap in the health care system and to build specialised youth cancer services.
The best part about 'You Can' is that everyone can get help out without even donating a single cent - it's as simple as recycling your old mobile phone. Sony Foundation has partnered with a recycling company to swap old mobile phones for funds. Since the campaign was launched in 2010, more than 450,000 phones have been donated and recycled and Australia's first youth cancer centre is nearing completion at Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital in Perth.

Happy Mondays singer Rowetta is supporting Greater Manchester Police as part of a national week of action to tackle domestic abuse (4 – 8 March 2014).
As a former victim of domestic abuse, Rowetta has joined forces with GMP to encourage other victims to come forward.
During the week of action, officers will be targeting known and wanted offenders with the aim of bringing perpetrators of domestic abuse to justice. There will be an increase in police activity during the week and officers will be arresting these offenders and protecting their victims from future violence.
In the last twelve months there has been a 1% increase* in the number of reports received of domestic abuse and the issue remains a top priority for GMP.
As well as seeking and arresting known offenders, specialist officers along with Independent Domestic Violence Advisors (IDVAs) and the probation service will also be visiting known victims of domestic abuse to provide them with help and advice.
Detective Chief Superintendent Vanessa Jardine, Head of the Public Protection Division said: “Tackling domestic violence is a priority for GMP all year round but this week of action allows us to highlight the work taking place with our partners to eradicate the region of these terrible crimes.
“Victims of domestic abuse and serious sexual assaults are some of the most vulnerable members of our society and we will be targeting known and persistent offenders throughout the week, utilising a range of powers in order to bring these people to justice and protect their victims.
“Over the last year we’ve seen an increase in the number of people coming forward to tell us about their suffering but we’d like more victims to have the confidence to seek help and put a stop to the vicious circle of domestic abuse they often find themselves in.”
Rowetta described her own experience of domestic abuse: “I met my ex-husband at 16. By the time I was 18 I was married with two children and his aggression towards me got gradually worse. At first it was an occasional slap which was always followed by a plea for forgiveness.”
As in many cases the violence didn’t stop there. She continued: “It became unbearable after he became addicted to heroin. The violence escalated very quickly and I became more and more frightened for my life. I tried to leave, but didn’t think I had anywhere to go and I lived in hope that he would change as I thought I loved him and he would always tell me how sorry he was afterwards and that he loved me.
“The turning point for me came after one particular night full of beatings and torture I took four sleeping tablets, not to kill myself but enough to knock me out. When I was visited by police in the morning at hospital they advised me not to return home and they contacted to Woman’s Aid and found a place for me in a refuge.”
The public are also being reminded of the use of Clare’s Law which allows members of the public to enquire about their partner or a partner of someone they knows past if they suspect a violent past.
Rowetta added: “Love isn’t meant to hurt. Love isn’t violent. Don’t stay for your children. Leave for your children. Leave for yourself.
“There is so much more help and understanding out there now than when I was suffering. Start a plan to leave and end the fear.”
Victims of domestic abuse should call the police on 101 or the Greater Manchester Domestic Abuse Helpline on 0161 636 7525. Alternatively please visit endthefear.co.uk.
Always call 999 in an emergency where there is a risk to life or crime in progress.

These bloody feathers were nearly the death of me today. Everytime I set the selftimer I had an Xfactor winner moment - you know the bit where they win then they sing and all the confetti rains down and a massive bit gets stuck right on their forehead/nose/mouth etc and they have to soldier on looking ridiculous. Well, thats what these feathers were doing today, had a mind of their own. At one point one even went up my nose (its okay, I got it out and kept throwing it about again. Nice...)
