Breast cancer fundraiser at Shepparton Harness Racing Club hailed a success

“The day was amazing,” Castles said.

“I can’t believe the support we got from the people that turned up.

“We had the racing, the pony trots and it was a real carnival atmosphere and the weather was perfect.”

With the result of a silent auction to come, Castles said she was overwhelmed by the support.

“Thanks everyone in the whole harness industry, the Shepp harness club for letting us hold the event there and everyone who helped out — it was just amazing.”

As part of the lunch, candles were lit as a reminder of hope and support for those who are battling breast cancer or have lost a family member or friend to the disease.
