The weekend contains elements of celebration of survival, remembrance and 'fightback'.

Congratulations must go to all participants and teams but Blackwater's Pink Angels were worthy of note, having raised more than $21,000 towards the total.

A team from CQU Facilities Management was also worthy of note in terms of keeping spirits up, with their mouse-racing tent packed to the rafters throughout the night.
