Liz Dawes receives Australia Day Honours

Brighton Grammar is proud to share that Liz Dawes, Founder and CEO of the Robert Connor Dawes (RCD) Foundation, has been awarded an Order of Australia (OAM) in the Australia Day Honours List.

The award recognises her tireless work in helping to raise much needed awareness of paediatric brain cancer. Her son, Connor (OB 2012), lost his battle with brain cancer in 2013, at the age of 18. 

Liz is an inspiration who has helped see the RCD Foundation’s main fundraising event, Connor’s Run, to now be the nation’s biggest charity event for brain cancer. On behalf of the BGS community, we congratulate Liz on this amazing achievement and look forward to BGS continuing to support both Go Grey In May and Connor’s Run.
