Living Life for Lilah

Thousands of people around the world have followed Lilah Sophie Bishop's courageous journey through a Facebook page set up by her parents Andrea and Nic.

Lilah's family, including her big sisters Jemima and Maddy, generously share their beautiful little girl's story with others to insire as many people as possible to "live in the moment" and make the most of each day.

Little Heroes Foundation is honoured to be supporting Lilah's family, with "Live Life for Lilah" planned to become an annual event in October each year. People are encouraged to read Lilah's story by joining her Facebook page Lilah Sophie and keep an eye out for more information coming soon via Lilah's Facebook page and Little Heroes Foundation on how you can join us in "Living Life for Lilah" this October.

Lilah Sophie Bishop passed away on the 17th June 2011, aged just 19 months, but her legacy will live on through the thousands inspired to "Live Life for Lilah" each day. Our love and ongoing support it with the Bishop Family.

One wheeled wonders give Graham tips for his rural ride

After 78 days in the saddle, unicycling maestros Anna and David became well accustomed to life in the bush having battled exploding tyres, bruised body parts, and mischeivous mice as they travelled from Darwin to Adelaide for Little Heroes Foundation.

On Thursday May 9, David and Anna joined LHF and Graham Manou at the Bombay Bicycle Club to share their stories and left Graham with some pearls of wisdom before he set off for Darwin that evening to complete the same journey.

Unfortunately Graham and his team have had to postpone their ride after three days on the road but they are determined that this will not be the last time they visit the Stuart Highway.
