A decade ago the Robertson family lost the youngest of four sons, Lachlan, to oesophageal cancer.
Jason, Bryn and Scott Robertson were determined Lachie’s memory would live on. So every year they bring together friends, and friends of friends, to commemorate Lachie’s life and raise money for the Chris O’Brien Lifehouse. It’s called Brothers IV Brothers. Brothers supporting each other and their community and trying to make a difference. Through their annual lunchtime “extravaganza” they’ve raised in excess of $1.5m for the Lifehouse.
Over the years Drew Mitchell, Rod Kafer, John Eales, Phil Kearns, Matt Burke and Andrew Mehrtens have given their time to support the lunch and are now considered part of the family. This week we gathered again at the Blu Gum Hotel, this time with Justin Harrison the star attraction (if you don’t count Ted Sheeran) and managed to add another $110k to the tally. Good people doing good things for a good cause. That’s what it’s all about.
