Channel 7 sports personality Mark Beretta today visited the Lifestart Northern Beaches centre in Frenchs Forest to learn first hand how Lifestart helps special kids.
He enjoyed taking part in their group activities and even got down on the floor to participate in the songs. The children rewarded Mark with lots of kisses, cuddles and hand shakes. On the serious side of things Mark learnt that these activities are all part of the therapy used to help these children, who have disabilities such as Down Syndrome, Autism and other developmental delays or disabilities, reach their potential.
Mark will MC the annual Lifestart fundraiser, The Sportsman’s Lunch, to be held on Friday 30th March at Dockside, Cockle Bay. Over 200 people are expected at this lunch to support Lifestart, enjoy fine dining and bid on one-of- a-kind auction items.
Guest Speaker is the “voice of rugby” Gordon Bray.
Tickets cost $140 per person or $1400 per table of 10 and are available by phoning Lifestart on (02) 9807 9700. Further details are in the events section.

DADHC advised at the end of February that Lifestart School Age Services in Northern Sydney will receive further funding from the NSW Government to continue providing services to children 6 -18 until at least June 2008.
Bob Dewstow, Lifestart’s CEO stated “although we receive Government monies these do not cover the cost of providing the service to these special children and their families – the Sportsman’s Lunch is one of our primary fundraising events and thus crucial to the provision of our services.”
Lifestart will also be focusing on the NSW Government “Stronger Together” program to enhance services to these children over the next 3 -5 years.
