Last night, KidsXpress celebrated its 10th birthday in style by hosting a function at the world famous Cirque du Soleil in Sydney at the Entertainment Quarter in Moore Park. Dr Frank Farrelly and a few friends attended the performance with Shannon and other members of the KidsXpress Board. We had a great night catching up with Melissa King, CEO of Surf Life Saving Australia and Jacquie Swinton, Legal Officer Royal Australian Navy.
