TONIGHT the Gold Coast community will work up a sweat in support of one of the Coast’s bravest teenagers.

Tori Bowd is only 14-years-old but has been battling a rare blood disorder her whole

life.

The high-schooler has been waiting seven years for a lifesaving bone-marrow

transplant that would turn her life around.

The regular hospital parking bills, time off school and ongoing care has taken a huge toll on her family who are constantly working to find funds.
