Laps for Lila

By Chloe Diakos Join Me

Raising awareness and support for Bear Cottage in honour of Lila Diakos

Please join us for Laps for Lila Colour Run/Walk!

WHEN - Saturday 13 June

TIME - 2:30pm

WHERE - Billa Road Oval - 50 Billa Rd Bangor

Bangor Football Club Inc have incredibly organised this event to raise money and awareness for Bear Cottage in memory of our beautiful daughter Lila, who devastatingly passed away from cancer in December, at age 3. 

Bear Cottage is the only dedicated children’s hospice in NSW and is part of the Sydney Children’s Hospital Network. It is a charity that relies heavily on community support and donations. There was 251 admissions to Bear Cottage in 2025 for respite or end of life care. Behind the numbers are real children, real families, and real stories. Lila is one of those children. We are one of those families.

Bring a picnic blanket/chairs and set up for a fun afternoon! The BBQ will be running and the canteen will be open. 

All proceeds during the event will be going to Bear Cottage. Entry $5 per participant, paid on the day (cash or card). Entry will be from the car park.

Participants will run/walk at least two laps of Billa Road Oval and will be sprayed with colour powder along the way!

Participants are encouraged to wear pink or purple. Lila’s favourite.

THANK YOU from the bottom of our hearts to Bangor Brumbies and our wonderful village for your continued support. It means more than you will ever know.

Chloe, George, Mia and Evie, from the moment we learned of Lila and her predicament we have been heartbroken. We absolutely love what you have done in wanting to raise money for Bear Cottage and we want to donate to help you with their journey towards providing young children with better care. Lila was taken way too early. We hope this will help. Brian Somerville and Natasha Mckenna.

I would walk 500 miles and I would walk 500 more, just to be the (who)man who walked 1000 miles to fall down at your door 💜
