Wheel & Walk Fun Run 2010

The Wheel & Walk held on Sunday 22 August was very successful again this year thanks to great support from many wonderful people. This year we are delighted to report that over $12,000 was raised and this will enable us to provide more support to families of children and adults with spina bifida and hydrocephalus. Wheel & Walk pictures can be seen on our Facebook page. Go to our Facebook page

Southern Cross Poker Run fundraiser

The first week in September is Spina Bifida Awareness Week and every year the Southern Cross Association holds a 5 day poker run to raise funds for SBH Queensland. Last year the Run attracted 320 motorbikes and raised $40 000.

This year the Southern Cross are looking to go even better and have 400 bikes riding through outback Queensland. This September’s run starts at Yuleba near Roma with overnight stops at Charleville, Windorah, Winton, Charters Towers and Clermont. More information on the Southern Cross Association and their support of SBH Queensland can be found on their website.
