Little Footsteps, Big Futures

It would seem that among the many prizes awarded at the recent BMA Mackay Marina Run, four talented juniors also took out special encouragement awards for their performance in the Isuzu Ute 3km junior event categories. Unfortunately, The Event was unable to present the awards to the significant four on race day, however, a special presentation was recently arranged at the Breakwater, Mackay Marina.

Owner and Director of Ricky Parker Painting, Ricky Parker was very excited to be on hand to present the awards to Sonny Morse (U12 winner and record breaker); Charlie Vella (U14 male winner); Katie Noonan (U12 female winner) and Kiara Johnson (U14 female winner).  

Ricky’s very generous donation of cash prizes to the talented youngsters will no doubt encourage and assist them in their future athletic endeavours.  Worthy congratulations must also go to the kids on their very humble and team orientated approach to sport in general with Sonny, Charlie, Katie and Kiara being such great role models for their schools and the community at large.
