1:5 all abilities relay
Did you know that over four million Australians have some form of disability? That's one in five people. On Saturday 15 September 2018, Rural Lifestyle Options Australia showed our support for 1 in 5 Australians by hosting the first annual 1:5 All Abilities Relay at the Tamborine Pony Club. Scenic Rim Regional Council Mayor Mr Greg Christensen officially kicked off the relay which saw teams of all abilities, take to the relay course, working together to complete a 5km distance. Many teams decided to embrace a theme and wear fancy dress, with Tamborine Pony Club entrants even supplying their own fake ponies! The day played host to a series of entertainment for families and friends including a magic show by Drace Illusionist and a musical performance by country music artist TJ Macc.
A 15m obstacle course and an inflatable jumping castle kept the family fun alive with relay participants turning to local vendors Serious Burgers Food Van, BKS Coffee2Go and The Churro Shack for post-relay nutrition. Event Organiser Mr Nicholas Power said he was happy that the day ran smoothly and was glad that everybody enjoyed themselves. "We are grateful for our supporters and are looking forward to making the event bigger and better in 2019!" With thanks to our generous sponsors, fearless relay participants and the support of friends and family, the organisation raised $5,116 toward our Unfunded Projects initiative.
The 1:5 All Abilities Relay will be back in 2019! Visit www.1in5charityrelay.com to learn more.
