Triathlon with a twist

For the third year running, Sunshine Butterflies disability support service and charity hosted their triathlon for all abilities at their 15-acre facility.

Sunshine Butterflies Triathlon is based on the traditional triathlon format, but with a twist.

Members of all abilities took part in three inclusive events on the day: first a running race, second a wheelchair ride and third a water splash relay.

This event was sponsored by the June Canavan Foundation.

Community Development’s Lucy Mills said, “We are so grateful to have the June Canavan on board once again supporting this incredible event.“

Sunshine Butterflies Our Backyard was buzzing with the energy of members, staff and special guests.

There were smiles, cheers, and tears of joy as members crossed the finish line.

Sunshine Butterflies were thrilled to be able to provide this event to their community once more, in their upgraded space which saw an even more spectacular event unfold.

Events coordinator Ali Kelly McCudden said, “Since expanding onto the property next door, we were able to create an even better tri course this year.“

There were many special guests in attendance for the day including Maureen from The June Canavan Foundation, members of the Noosa Tri Club, Coles Noosaville, Sunshine Beach Special Education Unit and Unity Water and Emu Hire.
