Every day there are events in all our lives, so special that when we retell the story it often starts with, \u201cThe day began\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Well, Sunrise Daily may never have seen the light of day if not for one of the founders, Tony Dowling, a man with pure determination to survive himself. Tony grew up on the Northern Beaches of Sydney Australia. With a wife and two young sons, Tony was diagnosed with cancer and given a 3% chance of survival. Embracing his zest for life, passion for helping others, and with the support of his family, he decided to be one of the 3 in every hundred to survive. In short he was given a 3% chance of survival with advance X cancer. After 12 of the most challenging months in his life, Tony is now in remission and often wakes and leisurely drives 5 minutes to one of many beautiful beaches on the Northern Beaches to either appreciate the glow of dawn or take to the waves to be free with the water and his surfboard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
During one of his early morning rituals, Tony starts a friendly chat with a man holding a camera. As it turns out, this man had been taking sunrise photos for the past 24 years\u2026 every single day! The photographer was selling his prints via word of mouth to mums and dads of new born babies, of the day their little bundle of joy entered this world. Continuing to do this for the past 20 years, but not having the reach that the internet and technology allows, Tony suggested a few things the photographer could do to improve. That is where the first encounter ended\u2026 no introductions of names and no \u201clets catch up again\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tony is a spiritual man, after not only surviving cancer, but thriving with energy and passion for life, and dedicating time to local community groups, he was asking himself, \u2018What more can I be doing\u2019. One night a name came to him\u2026 \u2018Speak to Neil!\u2019 Now this is where things were meant to be\u2026 Tony did not know any Neils\u2026 or did he?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The next day Tony bumps into the photographer again at sunrise on the beach. \u201cHey mate, good to see you again. By the way, my name is Tony\u201d, and the man with his camera replied, \u201cG\u2019day, my name is Neil.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Neil White is a local photographer who has always appreciated the morning glow of dawn, and capturing in photography the rays of the Northern Beaches sunrise. Having taken more than 80,000 photos over 24 years, it was the perfect opportunity for Tony to give more people the joy of a memory. Tony knew the best part of recalling a heart felt memory is that it allows us to feel something unique. To relive a feeling and experience something move in our body is what actually looking at the sunrise on that special day gives and allows us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What happened over the next 2 months was swift. Tony has a mate from the Northern Beaches, Anthony Simon, who loves early morning bikes rides, the ocean and nature. Anthony has a background in marketing and loves ecommerce. Anthony has a mate Flynn Tesoriero, who loves sunrise mountain bike riding and grew up on the northern beaches. Flynn is a tech extraordinaire and passion for online marketing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tony, Anthony and Flynn got together to discuss \u2018an opportunity\u2019. The sun had risen on this opportunity and it was called Sunrise Daily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
