BEFORE
YOU
START
Welcome to the 2nd Run Sunshine
Coast presented by the University
of the Sunshine Coast! Thank you
for getting involved and making a
difference to children’s health in
your community.
Run Australia in collaboration with
Wishlist have set out to fund the
growth of the Child Development
Service on the Sunshine Coast.
Firstly thanks to all that took
part in Run Sunshine Coast
2014. Earlier in the year we were
pleased to announce that thanks
to your registration fee from the
inaugural Run Sunshine Coast
Wishlist has already relocated the
Child Development Service and
enabled it to grow substantially to
now be working with early school
aged children with behavioral and
developmental issues, for the very
first time. For those who are joining
us for the first time, thank you
and welcome! Your participation is
directly impacting on many local
families who would otherwise need
to seek assistance from private
specialists for this service. That is
something to feel very proud of!
The new and improved Service also
treats children aged 8 to 13 where
possible but we need your support
to ensure this service continues to
grow and remains in it's temporary
relocation until it moves into
Caloundra Hospital in 2017.We’ll be
keeping you updated on the growth
of the Child Development Service
over the next few years.
By taking part in this unique
community event you are truly
making a difference to local
families. We cannot wait to show
you the results of your efforts,
which will benefit the entire
Sunshine Coast.
Happy running, walking or rolling...

AEROBICS WARM UP
Feel free to leave your belongings with
us at our ‘Bag Storage Area’ while you

thrilled to be the official photographic

registrations open
at start line
Let’s be honest, everyone loves a fun
warm up before your event. That’s why
we will have a 10 minute aerobic warm
up 15 minutes before the start of the
12km run, 15 mins before the start
of the 6km run and 15 mins before
the start of the 6km family walk. We
promise it will be heaps of fun! The
warm up will take place at the start line
located on Pacific Boulevard just north
of Kawana Surf Life Saving Club..
Before you arrive at the storage area,
please ensure you have followed the
below steps:
• Ensure that all your items are in a
sealed bag so nothing can fall out.
• Attach the tear off numbered strip
from your number plate to the bag, so
we can identify it.
• Unfortunately we can’t accept any
responsibility for anything lost or
stolen, so make sure nothing in your
bag is of too greater value.
• Drop your bag off at the area that
matches the event you are doing.
After the conclusion of your event,
present your number plate to collect
your bag.
So if you see them when you’re running,
walking or rolling the course, make sure
you give them a wave and a big smile, of
course!
COMPETITOR NUMBER PLATES
Your number plate needs to be secured
to the front of the shirt you’re going to
participate in, in a spot that is easily
visible from the front. You’ll receive
some safety pins to help out with this!

plate and timing tag following the event

I can’t wait to lace up on 17th May and

I was so excited when I got asked
to become a Run Sunshine Coast
ambassador, the role is a great fit for
me given my passion and dedication to
leading a healthy and fit lifestyle and
using nature as your gym.
As a Sunshine Coast local I really
wanted to connect with an event that
truly gave back to the community,
and this was the perfect opportunity.
Something for all levels, all ages and for
a great cause.
Make sure you join me on 17th May and

TED
2015 CHILD AMBASSADOR
Ted was diagnosed with Tuberous
Sclerosis in April 2014 following an
MRI scan. Tuberous sclerosis is a
genetic disease that causes benign
tumours to grow in the brain and on
other vital organs such as the kidneys,
heart, eyes, lungs, and skin. It usually
affects the central nervous system and
results in a combination of symptoms
including seizures, developmental
delay, behavioural problems, skin
abnormalities, and kidney disease. Ted
has several abnormal areas on his brain
but even though these are present to
date gratefully, he has had no seizes. He
has white marks on his skin and a red
rash like looking mark on his face. Ted’s
kidney’s have been scanned and are
clear, Ted still to have lots more tests
carried, and this will go on for the rest
of his life.
have on Ted, his future, and our family
as a whole.
Once we got settled on the Sunshine
Coast we found a family Doctor at
Caloundra Bulk Billing, the doctor
there Dr Legget referred Ted to Dr Tom
Hurley at Nambour Hospital. In the
meantime Ted was attending Bambini
at Meridan two days a week where we
meet a great lady called Kerry Cook.
Both Kerry and Dr Tom Hurley referred
Ted to the Child Development Service
here on the Sunshine Coast and for this
we are forever grateful. The service and
level of support we have received from
the fantastic team at the Maroochydore
centre is amazing, we have laughed and
cried together, they have provided us
with access to services within the centre
to help us determine what Ted needs
to ensure he has a better future, and
begun to teach him skills he requires for
getting ready for school, holding a pen,
putting his own shoes on, all of which
Ted currently has some difficulty with.
They have provided us with a greater
understanding about Ted’s disease
and have truly had a large impact on
our family. And to think all of this was
available to use through one simple
referral from our Doctor. We would surely
recommend this service to anyone; it
truly is second to none.
We were told the results of Ted’s scan
the day our family were immigrating to
Australia, gob smacked by the news,
we still didn’t really understanding this
disease very well and were extremely
unaware of the huge impact it would
