So many of our dreams at first seem impossible, then they seem improbable, and then, when we summon the will, they soon become inevitable.
– Christopher Reeve (aka Superman)

This quote was sent to me by someone who knows the Shunt Registry project well, I thought it was very fitting that this is their “MANTRA”.  Before the registry was even built there were advocates before me who fought to get it established and there is still more work to be done to reach the $200,000 goal and maintain this important project moving forward.

So far Paying40Forward has donated $15,000 to the Australian Shunt Registry Project. 

But to all of you who have contributed to the Paying40Forward campaign, know that you have helped others, you have made a difference and you will make someone else’s life a little easier.

I’m so proud that a small network of people can come together and made this event so successful. I am truly grateful to all those small and large, local and multinational businesses that put their hands up to help Paying40Forward with no expectation of returns.

Here is a video from the Paying40Forward event which i think really captures the essence of what a great night we had paying it forward and raising awareness for the Australian Shunt Registry and also Hydrocephalus, shot and edited by Jake Blackburn – thanks mate!

I have also uploaded a photo gallery of images from the event, if you have any from the night please send them to me on email so we can add to the website!

 We will keep you updated on the progress of the Shunt Registry Project and Paying40Forward so stay tuned.
