NOOSA District State High School staff and students donned their finest pink outfits to take part in the Pink Precinct Fun Trail throughout the township of Cooroy on 20 October.
Participants made a gold coin donation to receive ‘passports’ that were stamped at a variety of different shops and locations around the main streets of Cooroy, all situated along the beautifully decorated pink trail.
Year 9 student Blake Chapman took out first placing, sprinting through the trail and earning himself a Fitbit as his prize.
Noosa councillor Jess Glasglow was the second person to cross the line and he kindly donated his Fitbit prize to the school’s Year 12 co-ordinator Bridge Muir for being the first woman to complete the fun run.
Year 9 student Rhys Lloyd received a voucher for being the best dressed competitor.
Personal stories of brave battles with cancer were shared and the pink trail participants were entertained with a tia chi demonstration at the completion of the event.
All participants were reminded to take part in breast cancer checks, as cancer does not discriminate or target a specific gender or age. A mobile Breast Screen service will be set up in Cooroy in late November.
