Over the past three years organisers Emma Harman and Rebekah Moore, collectively known as Pink Bitz, have raised more than $35,000 for cancer research and treatment options.
Pink Bitz would like to thank everyone who supported us and came along on the day.

However last year Ms Moore left Mount Isa for family reasons and the organisation of the event is more than one person can handle.
Ms Moore came up with the idea of one big fundraising event after deciding sausage sizzles were already commonplace in Mount Isa.
Ms Harman said organisers of the well-known Colour Run were not interested in an event in a small community so they decided to do it themselves.
“Bek posted on Facebook and by the end of the first day we had 300 interested people who wanted to attend,” Ms Harman said.
“Before we knew it we were organising legal documents and ordering coloured powders”.
It was a huge success with several hundred participants in each of the three years it has run.
Ms Harman is now happy to pass the documentation to whoever wants to take it on.
