Glow in the dark.....!


Last weekend it was the Colour Run to raise money for Princess Margaret Children's Hospital.. this weekend it was the Neon Run held in the Claremont Showgrounds to raise money for Beyond Blue an organization working to bring awareness to and reduce the impact of depression and anxiety in the community. It never ceases to amaze me the way Perthites throw themselves so enthusiastically into these charity events and I'd like to say a huge merci beaucoup to Aimee for letting me show these shots she took while participating in the run. How was your weekend, what did you get up to? Oh and btw the 'subliminal' message in Saturdays post was in the eye chart..'eating peri peri is good for you' :))

  17. Brighter than the Color Run but even more dramatic with high contrast. Love the eye makeup a few pictures down.

    I did a little research on these projects. Although all the events help a local charity to an extent, but the sponsors are all private, for-profit businesses. I'd never hear of it three years ago. Now there four or five of them in our mid-sized city.
