An early morning thunderstorm passed just in time for several hundred people to gather along Gympie Terrace last Friday to take part in the second annual Sunshine Butterflies Walk in Wings all-inclusive 3km walk.
Sunshine Butterflies founder and chief executive officer Leanne Walsh said she was expecting another brilliant walk with a kaleidoscope of colour and wings to support those people in our community with a disability, and she wasn’t disappointed.
“I am thankful to my team for their dedication to deliver this event again this year.
“Over 4 million people in Australia are living with some form of disability, that’s one in five people.
“Our goal is to unite local businesses, schools, sporting clubs, community groups and the general public as we celebrate diversity and inclusiveness,“ she said.
The walk also attracted the winners of the Block in 2020 Jimmy and Tam as well as Sunshine Coast Lightning players Kate Walsh and Cara Koenen.
The 2022 Walk in Wings by Sunshine Butterflies was sponsored by Herbalife Nutrition as well as Stay Property Group, Bendigo Community Bank Tewantin- Noosa, Team Body Corporate and Shanahan Family Law.
