Disability charity hosts Walk in Wings event

This November Sunshine Butterflies disability charity will be hosting their very first ‘Walk In Wings’ event.

‘Walk in Wings’ by Sunshine Butterflies proudly brought to you by Cerge ‘Your Digital Concierge’ is an all-inclusive accessible 1.5km walk along the Noosa River which aims to celebrate all abilities in our community.

Sunshine Butterflies CEO and Founder Leanne Walsh said, “We are hugely excited to be launching this event to our community, this has been an event which we have dreamed of for many years, to see it come to life will be something truly special.”

The major sponsor for the ‘Walk in Wings’ event is local business ‘Cerge’-Your digital concierge. Cerge is a brand new assistive technology for individuals with disability that reduces the fear, anxiety and discrimination endured as customers.

“Having Cerge as the major sponsor of ‘Walk in Wings’ aligns wonderfully with this event as they are also committed to improving the lives of individuals living with disability,” Leanne said.

‘Walk in Wings’ will be an annual event that will bring the community together to create awareness and celebrate people of all abilities in our community.

“Walk In Wings’ is designed to promote whole community inclusivity and will unite businesses, community and sporting groups, schools and the general public from all walks of life,” she said.

On Friday 19 November the community will be walking in wings or wearing purple between 6am and 8:30am at Quota Park, Gympie Terrace, Noosa River.

There will be special guests on the day including Jimmy and Tam winners of The Block 2020, Sunshine Butterflies event sponsors Cerge, McGrath Noosa and Team Body Corp as well as entertainment from Sunshine Butterflies members and a live outside broadcast with Sam and Ash and MC, Nugget from Hot 91 and prizes to be won.

Register at walkinwings.com.au to enter into the walk, each registration includes a hat and lanyard.
