Gold Coast and Brisbane runners raise over $4000 in the recent marathon

It wasn’t for the glory and it certainly wasn’t to break record time; Gold Coast and Brisbane volunteers joined together to conquer the 5.7km walk in the Gold Coast Airport Marathon, raising funds and awareness for Radio Lollipop along the way.

The team were hard to miss when they hit the tracks donned in colourful tutus, bubble wands and sparkling foil balloons. They certainly made a huge impact; fellow runners photographed selfies with our daring group while onlooking crowds cheered and whistled from the sidelines.

With the volunteers taking to their social media pages, the team of 12 successfully raised a total of $4208.70.

The money will go towards prizes, craft essentials and games to ensure Radio Lollipop continues to deliver the best bedside service to sick children in hospital.

Miss Lollipop supports Mater Miracles Fun Run

On Sunday 2 June, Miss Lollipop and volunteers from Radio Lollipop’s Mater Children’s Hospital braved the cool morning to support the 5k’s for Kids Fun Run which turned out to be the Mater Foundation’s biggest single fundraising event ever!

Miss Lollipop met lots of new friends along the way including Dora the Explorer and Diego, the Star Wars Storm Troopers and Superman. But her favourite new friend was one of the smallest, the local surf dog.. the two hit it off straight away as can be seen in this photo!

Volunteers Jet, Andrew, Mel and Orchid were also there to add even more smiles to this event with their special chocolate chip and strawberry flavoured bubbles! Thanks to a nice autumn breeze, the bubbles got carried away high up in the sky as far as the eye could see!
