CPEC was an official charity of the 2011 Bank of Melbourne Marathon Festival

Thank you to everyone who joined the CPEC Team and helped us reach our $500,000 Fundraising Target

We hope you can join us again in 2012!

Benefits on offer to fundraisers:

• Refund of your Registration fee
• Receive a $75 discount from CPEC on asics footwear purchased at Active Feet
• The Coffee Club Reward Card
• FREE CPEC Team Singlet/t-shirt
• plus Fantastic Prizes

$500,000 will ensure that many more babies with cerebral palsy (brain injury) could come off the 3 year waiting list to attend the unique CPEC learning programs and become more physically independent (e.g. to stand, to step and to walk) and possibly do the 3km walk. Some of our children might have challenges speaking, but on the day they can use their communication books to say, "I finished my own mini marathon".

CPEC has 108 young children who attend day and after school programs. CPEC also provides Education & Training Courses across Australia for teachers and therapists who work with children who have cerebral palsy.

Simply make a one-off donation to CPEC

CPEC are providing 200 volunteers to support the runners again this year. Since 2007 the CPEC families and friends have provided nearly 1200 volunteers for the Melbourne Marathon to support and encourage all of the runners and walkers in and around the MCG area.

CPEC families and their friends will be there again this year as volunteers for the benefit of all the runners and walkers starting at 5.00am and finishing at 3.00pm. Why not reciprocate CPEC support to the event by setting up a fundraising page to help their kids, families and staff?
