Holcim employees join Bridge to Brisbane fun-run in support of Neuroendocrine Cancer Australia
Honouring the memory of colleague Pauline Elliott and her chosen cause
Last weekend, 68 Holcim employees and customers joined the Bridge to Brisbane community fun run in support of Neuroendocrine Cancer Australia (NECA), the charity chosen by our late colleague Pauline Elliott, who sadly passed away from the disease in August.
The event route held particular significance. It began near Holcim’s Murarrie concrete plant and passed Pauline’s former workplace at Eagle Farm, before finishing at the Brisbane Showgrounds. The course was a fitting tribute to Pauline’s professional journey and her lasting impact on those she worked with.
James Cuthbert, who participated in the fun-run reflected on the experience:

“Pauline was not only a valued colleague but also a much-loved friend to many of us at Holcim. To have the fun run pass her former workplace felt incredibly fitting, as if the event itself honoured her journey.
Supporting Neuroendocrine Cancer Australia, Pauline’s chosen cause, was a meaningful way for us to celebrate her memory while contributing to vital research and advocacy.”
Neuroendocrine Cancer Australia (NECA), supports vital research, patient care, specialist nursing, education, and advocacy. By participating in the event, Holcim proudly supported a cause close to Pauline’s heart, while also standing with the wider community to raise awareness of neuroendocrine cancer.
Starting in 1997 as the Bridge to Bay, the Bridge to Brisbane has grown into Queensland’s largest community fun-run, attracting more than 35,000 participants. Beyond the fitness and fun, the run is a powerhouse for fundraising—raising millions of dollars for hundreds of local charities while bringing together people of all ages and abilities over a 5km and 10km course in a spirit of community and generosity.
For Holcim, taking part in the Bridge to Brisbane was not only a chance to support the broader community, but also a heartfelt way to honour Pauline and her legacy.
