Tour dekawanSunday 22 August, from 7:30am

This cause has a very special place in our hearts, as our Finance and Administration Manager, Leanne has beautiful step daughter with Cystic Fibrosis.

This event is now in its 5th year, being the premiere charity cycling and amateur criterium race on the Sunshine Coast, raising much needed funds for Cystic Fibrosis Queensland.

It will be held on the Eastbank Foreshore on the scenic Lake Kawana and will feature the Family Charity Cycle, Experienced Riders event along with a live broadcast from Hot 91 with many after event activities planned.  This is includes us!  We can’t wait to be there providing safe jumps for all the kids (and big kids!).

As I mentioned before the The Charity Cycle raises funds for Cystic Fibrosis Queensland – a not-for-profit organisation that provides emotional, financial and physical support to over 800 children and adults affected by cystic fibrosis, and their families. 

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is the most common life threatening genetic condition in Australia – and there is no cure.  Cystic Fibrosis Queensland receives limited funding from government, and relies on events like the ANZ Tour de Kawana Cystic Fibrosis Charity Cycle to raise the funds to continue providing support to families affected by CF. 

 We hope to see you all there!

MB_header_footerWe love supporting causes in the community where people walk the walk.  And Springfree™ Trampoline friend Joe Lopino is doing just that in his climb ahead in support of the Mont Blanc Project.

 ‘The AHG Adventurers’ launched ‘The Mont Blanc Project 2010’, as a fundraiser for Childhood Cancer patients at Perth’s Princess Margaret Hospital, Ward 3B, The Total Care Unit.

Lead by Perth based businessmen Rick Parish and Peter Wilson the objective is to reach the summit of Mont Blanc in France. It’s a tough, challenging and physically demanding climb but it pales by comparison to what many children and their families go through every day in Ward 3B, Princess Margaret Hospital. 

 The Mont Blanc Project 2010 – A Climb for Childhood Cancer involves people from all walks of life committed to making a difference to children and families, alike, suffering from cancer.

One of these climbers is Joe Lopino who we have a close business affiliation with in his role at Direct Freight express.

 Let’s get behind him and donate to his climb here…

En Route to the 2009 World Championships, Canada’s own Rosie MaclennanRosie in Canada drops into Springfree™ Trampoline headquarters to say hi to the team.

 The 2009 World Championships is the first in the new Olympic cycle, and the first of many important competitions for Rosie and fellow Canadian Trampoline gymnasts ahead of London 2012.

Maclennan is one of the world’s rising trampoline athletes currently holding the claim to the hotly contested Canadian National Trampoline Champion.

Rosie has always been a huge supporter and we could not be prouder to have such a star endorse our Springfree™ Trampoline.

“Whenever I’m asked to recommend a backyard trampoline, I always think of Springfree Trampoline first. Springfree is the safest trampoline on the market today. I love the fact there are no harmful springs on the Springfree Trampoline so kids can enjoy hours of healthy and fun exercise without the worry of rusty steel springs to fall through. Kids finally have a safe place to jump, have fun and get fit, all at the same time. Way to go Springfree!”

Rosie joins other Olympic trampoline athletes Karen Cockburn and Jason Burnett who also endorse the Springfree as the safest backyard trampoline on the market today.

Springfree™ Trampoline would like to wish Rosie and the entire Canadian team the best of luck at Worlds!

 

Big Thumbs Up for Springfree Trampoline

Big Thumbs Up for Springfree Trampoline

Camp Quality’s Main Camp kicked off (or should I say bounced off) yesterday on the Sunshine Coast.

This camp is for diagnosed children aged between 9 and 13 years and there was laughter all around.  Springfree™ Trampoline has been a Camp Quality supporter all year, donating thousands of dollars and providing their camps with Springfree™Trampolines to add just a little more laughter into their day.

Greeted by volunteer supervisers, who were Friendly, enthusiastic and funny, I got a feel of what it must be like to be at one of these highly praised and reputable Camps.  Everyone was in such high spirits and there was an inspirational aura around the camp.  Maybe it was because of the strength and courage of some of the kids that attended the camp, or maybe it was the attitude of the organisers and volunteers? Whatever the reason, no one does Fun Therapy quite like Camp Quality.

I wonder if I can conjure up some excuse to go back tomorrow. I heard they are having a Talent Contest…
