Bella Pinkney in fisiocrem GC50 Run Festival 2026 Hi everyone, I’m trying to hit my fundraising target of $500. I will be participating in The border bolt 22km run this sunday .This one means a lot to me as it has had a huge impact on my life. 1 in 7 women in Australia have Endometriosis, it has stopped me from doing things I love . I’m running...

The Northern Rivers Referees Association has a member who is raising funds to support women suffering from Endometriosis.
Bella will be participating in The border bolt 22km run this Sunday and says this means a lot to her.
“This one means a lot to me as it has had a huge impact on my life. 1 in 7 women in Australia have Endometriosis, it has stopped me from doing things I love”.
Bella is running to support the fundraising to hopefully find a cure soon.
On any normal weekend, Bella would run more that 22km with her referee duties in both the Junior & Senior competitions. Let’s all help Bella reach her donation target. Better still, let’s smash it in Support of Bella.
Good luck with everything Bella
