Dolly’s Dream – Go Blue, End Bullying 💙

Ed caught up with Carli Knight from the Bairnsdale Horse Centre and spoke of how her Gippsland local business (Bairnsdale Horse Centre) has evolved into a passionate supporter of Dolly's Dream and is focused on ending the surge of bullying.

Dolly’s Dream was created by Tick and Kate Everett in memory of their daughter Amy “Dolly” Everett. Dolly loved horses and life, but tragically took her own life at just 14 after experiencing prolonged bullying and cyberbullying.

The mission of Dolly’s Dream is to raise awareness and help prevent bullying. When you purchase from the Dolly’s Dream merchandise range, you’re supporting the cause and spreading Dolly’s message of hope and kindness.
