As most of you know, my beautiful parents were on board MH17 when it was shot down over Eastern Ukraine on 17 July 2014. Tragically all 298 passengers and crew perished in the disaster.
Since then the MH17 Memorial Foundation has established the National Monument near Schiphol Airport in Amsterdam. My brothers and I had the privilege to be there last year when the monument was opened, 3 years after the disaster. It's a remarkable place with beautiful sunflower fields surrounding the 298 trees which have been planted in the shape of a ribbon. The center piece is a scuplture with all 298 names engraved.
The construction and ongoing care of the monument has been funded by donations and private sector support. The monument is a very special place for the families of those 298 passengers/crew including my Mum and Dad. I would like to raise some funds to support the monument so it can be maintained to the same standard long into the future.
I will be motivating myself by running the Melbourne Half Marathon (Oct 14) in support of this great cause very close to my heart. If you can spare a donation big or small I (and all the families) will be extremely grateful.
