Marayke thanks Fun run fundraiser

Marayke would like to thank Sunshine Coast local Julia Jones Walker who raised $300 for Sporting Dreams doing her first fun run, after being inspired by hearing Marayke speak.

​

Julia co-ownes the local gym at Woombye and gathered sponsorship for the run from gym members and friends. Congratulations Julia! Can you help Sporting Dreams by fundraising for us?

Everything is possible on international women's day

​

The event was hosted by the Sunshine Coast Business Women's network and guests donated a combined total of $1000 to Sporting Dreams on the morning.

Young students inspired at National Young Leaders Day

Over 3000 primary school students from around Queensland were inspired by Marayke's presentation at the National Young Leaders Day event in Brisbane. Marayke joined fellow speakers Graham Quirk,  Lord Mayor of Brisbane, Beau Robinson from the QLD Reds and Tiger trainer Giles Clark from Australia Zoo. After the event finished, Marayke enjoyed chatting to some of the students as they lined up for autographs. The students in this photo are from Mt Isa State School, a town Marayke visited as an Australia Day Ambassador in January 2011.
