‘Tis the season to be running

 Feeling energetic, want to challenge yourself or just want to support our team?

SCIA has combined some of the major marathons and fun runs on the east coast to create our running season.

Participate in this year’s running season with Spinal Cord Injuries Australia’s newly created team, the “Winning Wheelers”. Join us in the fun and sponsor us to raise much needed funds to help those with a spinal cord injury.

Our running season calendar starts on Sunday, 25 July with the Sutherland to Surf where we will be supporting one of our very own peer support officers, Shanon Bates aka ‘The Flyer from the Shire’ who currently holds the title. $10 from every registration to the 11 km run will be donated towards SCIA. Registration forms must come through to rkonstatzky@scia.org.au for the donation portion to count. A post event BBQ will be held at Sutherland to Surf HQ (Wanda Surf Club) to thank all our participants and celebrate completing the fun run. You can sponsor us or join our Sutherland to Surf Team at www.everydayhero.com.au/winning_wheelers. CLICK HERE to download the Winning Wheelers Sutherland to Surf entry form.

This will be followed by Sydney’s City to Surf on Sunday, 8 August. No doubt hearts will be broken on Heartbreak Hill! To sponsor us or join the team visit www.everydayhero.com.au/winning_wheelers_c2s.

Winning Wheelers will then travel north to the Bridge to Brisbane on Sunday, 29 August. We hope that this year Walk On Brisbane clients will join us in getting Nathan Handley walking across the finish line again. All donations for the Bridge to Brisbane will directly help the Brisbane Walk On team with their ‘wish list’ items for their facility. You can sponsor or join the Bridge to Brisbane Winning Wheelers team at www.everydayhero.com.au/winning_wheelers_b2b.

We will finish our running season with the Sydney Running Festival on Sunday, 1h September. Join our Winning Wheelers team or sponsor us at www.gofundraise.com.au/winning_wheelers_srf.
