DETAIN FOR CHILDHOOD DEMENTIA

Meet Our Detainees:

CHRIS MCDERMOTT: CEO of Little Heroes Foundation.
Chris is no stranger to the Adelaide Gaol Prison Cell. He was the sole detainee last year and raised over $25,000.
“I must admit it was a little spooky, and cold. The experience was a huge challenge, but nothing compared to the daily, almost hourly struggles these children and their families with dementia face”.
You can now support Chris with reaching his fundraising goal by visiting this link – https://detainedforchildhooddementia.gofundraise.com.au/page/ChrisMcDermott

OLIVIA GOWANS: Olivia has a very personal connection to Childhood Dementia. Her beautiful daughter Greta has Rett Syndrome, one of the debilitating diseases caused by Childhood Dementia. She is non-verbal and her mind and body are trapped.
“I will be trapped for 12 hours, she was given a life sentence. I’m trying to make a difference by fundraising and raising awareness for a cause that’s close to my heart. I would do anything to set Greta free of this hideous disease”

CHRIS LADHAMS: Chris is a Trainer at BHP Copper SA, former Adelaide Crows footballer and father of two Lily 16 and Austyn 12.
“The Little Heroes Foundation has always been a big part in my life. Being a father of two and seeing what Chris and his team have done for families in need, I seriously appreciate the work they do to try and keep smiles on faces of families in need. Childhood Dementia is a disease that has NO cure, and the hope that us all talking part to raise money for research to hopefully one day find a much-needed cure. To be a small part of that will be very a great honor to be a part of”

RENEE STASKA: Renee has also been personally impacted by Childhood Dementia. Her 3 beautiful children have all been diagnosed with a form of this disease. She continues to be a huge advocate for all we do here at Little Heroes Foundation.
“Nothing terrifies me more than losing my three children to a form of childhood dementia. This disease is cruel and there is just not enough awareness around it. Most children lose their lives far too early. I would go through hell if it meant it would be making a difference in the lives of families living with these horrible conditions”

LISA FYFE: Mother, Fitness Influencer, Golfer.
“I’m joining the fight with The Little Heroes Foundation for Childhood Dementia after being inspired by a friend of mine. My friend Robby is running 80km (from Victor Harbour to Glenelg) on Dec 1 with a goal to raise $80,000 and I couldn’t shake the feeling of ‘what can I do to help?’. I can honestly say I was totally unaware of the monster that this disease is and as a mum myself I can only begin imagine what these families to through. This is me doing a part to help reach that target for much needed research and assistance for families”
