4B fun run team<\/p><\/div>\n

Running for fun and a good cause<\/h2>\n

In March, the Ward 4B team laced up their joggers and joined the sea of pink across Brisbane for the RACQ International Women\u2019s Day Fun Run.<\/p>\n

The 4B team fundraised over $4,000, which will assist in providing support for women with breast cancer by investing in personalised, practical support services, equipment and potentially life-saving breast cancer research at Mater.<\/p>\n

Sadly, the fun run was cancelled because of bad weather across south-east Queensland, so the team relocated to Sandgate and walked along the foreshore.<\/p>\n

To prepare for the fun run, the team started a Strava challenge<\/a> to keep encouraging and motivating each other to keep exercising.<\/p>\n

By the end of the challenge the group had collectively walked or run 1,482 kilometres over 222 hours, 25 minutes and 37 seconds.<\/p>\n

Congratulations to the 4B team on their fantastic efforts!<\/p>\n

“My wife Susan and I were married for 51 years. I always thought I’d be the first to go, but she got cancer and passed away in 2020. Now that she’s gone I think maybe we could’ve done more with the time we had. I have no big regrets but I would like to say don’t let life get in the way of treasuring the people you’re close to.”<\/p>\n

“If I could tell my younger self something I’d say don’t worry about what everyone else is doing and stick to your own path. When I was younger I was worried because my choices were taking me in a different direction to that of my friends. But I’m glad I stuck with what I wanted to do, it’s all worked out for the best.”<\/p>\n

“George and I have been married for 64 years and even though there’s been ups and downs, we share very special and lovely memories together. To make a marriage work you’ve got to do things together and talk to each other – these things are very important! George has always been there for me and has always been the one for me.”<\/p>\n

“To live a long life I’d tell people to listen to health advice and become a non-smoker. I was smoking quite heavily when, in the 1960s, a medical journal in New Zealand published an article about cancer of the lungs in relation to smoking. After reading it I never picked up a cigarette again.”<\/p>\n
