Stepping up for a miracle

Seven Noosa residents pounded the pavement last weekend in a bid to raise much needed funds for the Mater’s Little Miracle charity in the Gabba Stadium Stomp.
Personal fitness coach Kate Davidson and six local residents climbed more than 5000 stairs and completed a full lap of the grounds at the Gabba Stadium in Brisbane on Sunday 21 June.
Kate and her team completed the gruelling fitness challenge in under an hour and raised a combined total of more than $2000 for their efforts.
The team members ranged in age from 17 to 50 and included all fitness levels.
Kate said she was worried that some people may find the challenge difficult.
“But everyone had a ball,” she said.
“Everyone wants to do it again next year.”
Kate said she had a great time competing in the challenge and even took the time to snap some action photos along the way.
Kate said she and the team received a lot of support from local businesses and residents.
“I’d really like to thank Waterline Espresso for their help and generosity,” Kate said.
Kate’s team also received a generous donation from a kind Noosa resident who decided to give after reading about Kate’s team in Noosa Today.
“I’d also really like to thank Samantha Seymour who gave us a card with $100 inside,” she said.
Donations can still be made until the end of 2015 at stadiumstomp2015gabba.gofundraise.com.au/page/KateDavidson1 or at Waterline Espresso, Noosaville.
