We received the below email, photo and certificate from the Moreton Bay Boccia Club in relation to fundraising through Dolphins Health Precinct. We were really pleased with the outcome as well as learning that they have direct entry into next years National and Asian Championships - well done guys!
On behalf of the Moreton Bay Boccia Club, we would like to thank you for helping our selected Queensland representatives get to the recent National championships held in Sydney. Due to your generous donations we were able to successfully fundraise over $800, allowing our athletes to cover the extra costs associated with travelling with a disability and transportation of equipment.
Our Selected Athletes, Nathan Langdown and Kirsten Lindemann represented Queensland and the Moreton bay region proudly finishing in the pairs event in 5th place. This guarantees them direct entry into next years National and Asian Championships, where they are hopeful of going even better. The experience they have now gained by competing at this level will prove invaluable for these future competitions and their ultimate goal of making the 2020 Australian Paralympic Boccia Team. These are big goals from two individuals who have faced some major challenges in their past and have thrived from the encouragement and support they have received from our community. Their confidence has raised to life changing levels and we have witnessed the flow on effect to the rest of the team.
Thank you again for your support,
Thomas Hegarty
Sports Program Officer - Moreton Bay Boccia Club
