The Rotary Club of Emerald and District is gearing up to host the Kids Fun Run with Puffing Billy next month.
The event is kicking off for the 21st time on Sunday 24 November at Gembrook Puffing Billy Station, adding on to the club’s fundraising total of $771,250 for children’s charities over the years, including the Starlight Foundation, the Angliss Hospital, Monash Health, Cerebral Palsy Education Centre, Insight Education Centre for the Blind and Monash
Children’s Hospital Cancer Centre.
This year will be the fifth year the club will be supporting Monash Children’s Hospital Cancer Centre.
Children aged three to 12 will be running in seven age groups against the train and every participant receives a show bag and certificate.
Children can fundraise via their own online fundraising page and the top fundraisers receive a prize.
The event will also include market stalls, entertainment and train rides.
Alongside Emerald Rotary members, Monash Children’s Hospital will be providing hands on support at the event in the form of marshalling and representatives attending.
