Bridge 2 Brisbane 2021! ….Done and Dusted!
Maleny locals Jared Ashcroft, Olin Stratford and Chris Maylor successfully completed the popular Bridge to Brisbane charity running/walking event on Sunday, their efforts raising funds for the charity of their choice - Beyond Blue. Bridge To Brisbane is a unique event, whereby participants start at the base of the Gateway Bridge, Murarrie, running or walking the 10km route that eventually takes them over the iconic Gateway Bridge, descending down to the nish line at Brisbane's iconic Brisbane Showgrounds.
The lads completed the 10 km walk in 2:20.04, each proud of their personal achievement, whilst also raising $4,300 so far. What is so special about this event is that each participant chooses which charity they will be raising funds for. As Jared noted ” Whilst I may look like the happy chap around town, I do suffer from mental health issues from time to time, like so many, and the support of friends, family and this community means everything and has enabled me to take part in this event again”. The lads are hoping to reach the $5,000 mark, and there is still time to donate, with further donations accepted until the 30th November at this secure link: https://bridgetobrisbane.gofundraise.com.au/.../Jared...
