We are pleased to announce that Legacy will be the major charity partner of The Sunday Mail Suncorp Bridge to Brisbane in 2011.

Legacy is dedicated to caring for the families of deceased veterans and assists more than 100,000 widows and 1,900 children nationally.  Their vision is that no Australian veteran’s family will ever face the challenges of life alone after the veteran’s death and they do whatever it takes to enable families to thrive, despite the loss and sacrifice.

News Queensland Managing Director, Jerry Harris said Legacy’s commitment to supporting families of deceased veterans was inspiring.

“The tragic losses endured in Afghanistan this year have been a stark reminder to us all of the commitment and sacrifice made by Australian forces when serving overseas” Mr Harris said.

Suncorp’s Mark Reinke said Legacy was a cause close to all Queenslander’s hearts.
