CrossFit Tully's Starlight Fundraiser

25/06/2025

As our fundraising journey wraps up, we want to take a moment to recognise and thank the absolute warriors who made the Great Wheelbarrow Race possible! 💪 💛 💜

To our amazing team:
Andi, Jeneece, Alissa, Abbey, Tammy, Lacey, Emily, Nikki, Aiden, Jaydon, Sam, and to our incredible support crew including Chris (our legendary bus driver) and Jason (our top-notch team marshall) — this wouldn’t have happened without each and every one of you.

This was more than just a race. It was an experience that touched all of our lives — filled with laughter, teamwork, blisters, sweat, and unforgettable memories. 💥💛

Thank you for bringing the energy, the heart, and the spirit. Fun was had. Memories were made. And we did something amazing together. 🙌

As our fundraising efforts come to a close, we are incredibly proud to announce that — with your amazing support — we’ve raised $11,019 for the Starlight Children’s Foundation! 💛✨

A massive thank you to everyone who donated, cheered us on, and backed our Great Wheelbarrow Race Dream Team! 💪

This has been a monumental effort — one we will never forget. Together, we’ve made a real difference in the lives of seriously ill children and their families. 🙌 💛 💜
