Elka has been appointed as the youngest member on the Ronald McDonald House Charities Board. RMHC is renowned for providing retreat homes for families with seriously ill children. Elka is also an ambassador for the annual McHappy Day that last year raised $1.9 million.
Incredibly, we're almost halfway through 2009... and what an interesting year it's been so far! The joy to witness everyday is everywhere when you see it through beautiful eyes and smiles... it's free and easy. I am delighted and honoured to have become a Board member of the Ronald McDonald House Charities (RMHC). This has been a huge aim of mine - helping sick children in all the ways that RMHC does. It continues to drive me with more passion to help in whatever way we all can.
My sponsor Swisse Vitamins has launched a huge campaign and in partnership with the prestigious Australian Women's Weekly, I have become an Ambassador for the Worlwide Walk campaign promoting good health and fitness.

Be sure to check out the May-June and July issues where you can read my 'walk on foot through Italy' diaries. Swisse Vitamins has also released new TV ads with me on Hueys Kitchen running for the next 6 months.
