The Great Wheelbarrow Run

By The Bloke from Gundy

a day to remember

The day started with a friend coming all the way from St George dressed up as a doctor, Dr Leonie. 5.30am started finished at 12.30pm at the Toowoomba hospital. I'd like to thank all the lovely people who donated along the way and there well wishes, there were so many stories of of families that have coped with cancer and losing of loved ones. While running i had a lot of time to remember all the good times with my Judi and wishing she was still here. There were times you had to hold back the tears but when our of sight they ran down your face with a bloody runny nose.  I need to thank the fellow that pushed the wheel burrow up the hill at meringandan, it was a God sent .  Thanks to my family and all the businesses and people in Goondiwindi that have helped me out with this fundraiser. There was a young lady that lost her dad wrote on the back of the gown that we all can relate to F*CK CANCER.

The Great Wheelbarrow Run

On Saturday 4 October, ‘The Bloke from Gundy’ will be pushing a wheelbarrow of hope from Goombungee to the Toowoomba Hospital - all to raise funds for our Regional Cancer Centre.

This selfless and anonymous local is running in memory of a cherished loved one and is determined to give back through this unique (and super FUN) fundraiser. 

Starting at 5:30am, his route will take him through:
Goombungee -> Meringandan -> Highfields McDonald’s (quick feed stop!) -> New England Hwy -> Ruthven St -> James St -> finishing at Toowoomba Hospital, Pechey St.

His fundraising goal is $5,000 and you can help get him there! 

Here’s how:
· Run or walk alongside for part of the journey
· Donate to his fundraising page or drop some change into the wheelbarrow as he passes
· Give a wave, cheer him on, and share this post to spread the word

Mark your calendars and let’s get behind this incredible effort and bring vital care closer to home for patients across our region. 

Thank you to my Sponsors

I passed you on Highfields Road while I was on a walk and you said hello with a big beaming smile. I did wonder what you were doing - I am so sorry for your loss - your wife must have been a very special lady.
