The Noosa community came together on World Inclusion Day on 10 October to raise money to help two Noosa families purchase vehicles to transport their children with disabilities.
Almost $50,000 was raised at a breakfast event to help the Jacksons of Cooroy and the Dohertys’ of Noosa Heads to purchase wheelchair accessible vans for their children Ramsay and Daisy. Ramsay, 3, and Daisy, 10, were both born with rare genetic disorders and rely on wheelchairs, strollers, and walkers to navigate their lives.
Committee members Steve Mawby, Libby Doherty, Janine Cook, Little Jo Powers, Cr Amelia Lorentson and Dixie Walters put the event together with the support of the Lions Club, Smile for a Child Foundation, the Noosa Heads Surf Club restaurant, Livelife Pharmacy and community members.
