Get ready to sweat, smile, and make a difference at the Harpertastic 1km Travelling Burpees Challenge.
Returning for its fourth year, this event is set to make an even greater impact in 2024.
This annual event, dedicated to raising funds for the Children’s Medical Research Institute, promises to be a major highlight, building on the momentum of last year’s fundraising success.
At just two years old, Harper Flynn was diagnosed with two rare gene mutations called CACNA1E and HK1, both of which are neurological based conditions. The young girl is now six-years-old, however, heavily relies on extensive care from family members and supporters in all aspects of her daily life.
Studies show that 1 in 20 children will be diagnosed with a genetic disorder or cancer, and each $50 raised funds one hour of crucial research.
Despite Harpers circumstances, relatives say her illness doesn’t stop her from doing the things she loves.
“She doesn’t really let her disability get in the way of what she wants to do every day,” said Harper’s grandmother Christine Joy.
By donating to the 'Jeans for Genes' initiative through the Harpertastic 1km Travelling Burpees Challenge, you can help support young children in their fight whilst contributing to the ultimate goal of finding a cure.
Scheduled for Saturday, August 3rd, 2024, the event will commence from 7.30am and will be located on the lawn in front of the Mackay Regional Council building.
To kickstart the morning, the children’s ‘Grayson’s Race for Research’ will be held, which is suitable for participants who are 12-year-olds and under.
As the children’s race concludes, the Harpertastic 1km Travel Burpees challenge will begin.
General Admission is $20 per adult and $10 for 12 years and younger.
Register online or via the QR code and get ready to sweat up a storm to raise funds for Children’s Medical Research. All funds raised go directly to Jeans for Genes!
