Supporting Love Your Sister

In 2013 Connie Johnson dared her brother Samuel to unicycle around the country.

and they started the charity called Love your Sister.

You see, Connie had breast cancer and they wanted to raise awareness about Breast Cancer, early detection is vital, and also provide money to help fight it.

I watched, I cheered, I donated and I fell in love with Sam's sister Connie.

Like most of Australia I have love Samuel Johnson for many years.

I have loved him since the first episode of The Secret Life of Us. I was the perfect age to fall in love with Sam's scruff, cheeky character. It was so fun being swept up in the lives and drama of the characters on that fabulous show. Pre Binge TV, This was one of those shows you put in your diary and planned your week around.

For the younger folks, find it and watch it, binge it! Aussie TV at its best. Deb Mailman, Joel Edgerton and Claudia Karvan....some amazing Aussie talent.

I have a sister, who is my best friend, so when I heard about Sam and Connie, and this unicycle trek I became a supporter of Love Your Sister. Some of my favourite t-shirts are from LYS. You have probably seen me in them over the years. You can buy them here

Back in September 2013 Lucas loves cars raised money by donating part of each sale to Love Your Sister. Doing our part to raise awareness for this amazing charity.

We even went to a Love your Sister Charity Gala to present our cheque.

I will never forget that night and the amazing opportunity to meet Connie (she truely was adorable and so lovely) and of course see Sam in action.

So, before I get lost in the memories, (too late) let's talk less about me and more about the amazing work Love your sister is doing.

In the last 10 years the profile of Love Your sister has absolutely exploded, and I'm sure you have heard of the Village that Sam and his friends have created.

They started with a goal to raise a Million Dollars to help fight Breast Cancer.

And just like the Dr Evil in the Austin Powers Movie, soon 1 Millions dollars wasn't big enough!

Love Your Sister have raised an incredible $20M so far.

A lot of it that has been hard work, through selling T-shirts, hoodies, socks, bags and books. Dancing with the stars and anything Sam can do to get this cause some airplay. (Including eating a huntsman - eww)
