The Great Southern Crossing with JMF

By | Extreme Fundraising Adventures, Fundraising, Inclusion, John Maclean, Leaving the Wheels Behind | No Comments

Southern Crossing

The Great Southern Crossing with JMF – You can support JMF by riding your bike!

In previous years you have been among an amazing group of people who have raised funds for us. We are really grateful for your support and wanted you to know that the money you have raised has helped us ensure we continue to help young Australians in wheelchairs remain active and included in their everyday lives.

KEEP HELPING US MAKE A DIFFERENCE!

Your ongoing support means a lot to us, so we wanted to take this opportunity to let you know that you can continue to make a difference by fundraising for JMF in The Great Southern Crossing which begins on Nov 1, 2015.

The Great Southern Crossing is a virtual cycling event utilising Everydayhero’s platforrn’s brand new integration with the world’s most popular cycling app – Strava. The event takes place throughout the entire month of November and entry is free to all participants.

The way the event works is by challenging teams of up to 5 or individual cyclists to ride hard through the month of November, using Strava to log their kilometres. Each team’s goal is to log enough kilometres with Strava to virtually cross Australia on a route that will take them 5,200km from Brisbane to Perth.

Money raised from this event will continue to provide support and equipment for children who live in wheelchairs and help us grant them much needed equipment to change their lives.

MORE ABOUT THE EVENT

REGISTER NOW AND START FUNDRAISING 
1. Register now to participate in the Great Southern Crossing.
2. Make your participation count by raising money for The John Maclean Foundation. During the registration process you can select to fundraise for and have your own fundraising page automatically set up for you. It’s easy!

Another PB today. I rode 118kms on my bike with my mate G. Slow and steady will get me to the finish line. This is my plan.

JMF Kids 4 Kids WINNERS

By | Extreme Fundraising Adventures, Fundraising, Inclusion, JMF Kids 4 Kids | No Comments

K4K 2015 BannerA BIG JMF Congratulations to the JMF Kids 4 Kids WINNERS!

REGISTER TODAY … The 12 week challenge is only just over a month away from kicking off.  Get Active … Have Fun and Help make a difference to the lives of young Australian’s in wheelchairs.

These three participants now have a VivoFit Band to make it even easier to track all there activities wherever they are with thanks to Harvey Norman.

Tristan Martin is a past ironman as he has participated in the JMF Kids 4 Kids challenge in previous years and here is what he has to say about why he loves it!
“I’m doing JMF kids 4 kids again because it’s been a lot of fun and it’s very inspirational.”
Jai Martin is Tristan’s little brother who has been inspired by watching his big brother complete the challenge so this year he has decided to get in on the fun and become an ironman whilst helping little Aussie wheelies.
“I want to do JMF kids 4 kids because it will get me outside more and be more sporty.”
Tristan and Jai’s mum also sent through some wonderful feedback about the JMF Kids 4 Kids challenge.
I’m happy that my boys want to do this because it is a great way to get fit and outdoors while teaching them a lot about how lucky they are and the challenges that others face.  Also seeing John overcome so many of those challenges is also a great thing for the boys to experience.
Our third winner was Aspen who is also a past participant in the JMF Kids 4 Kids challenge who is back to enjoy all the fun again.
“I took the challenge last year and seeing John McLean complete his race in Penrith has motivated me to do it again.”

Changing Lives

By | Extreme Fundraising Adventures, Fundraising, Grant Presentations, Inclusion, JMF Kids 4 Kids, John Maclean | No Comments

Changing Lives is what The John Maclean Foundation is all about.

We had the incredible opportunity of changing the lives of six families who have children with Cerebral Palsy last Friday night in Brisbane.

Here are some pictures of the beautiful children and their families who were presented with $15,000 worth in Grants.

A huge thank you to Hotel Urban Brisbane who donated their function space and catered for our presentation in spectacular style. Your support of the Foundation goes a long way towards helping to change the lives of little Aussie wheelies.

You can change lives too by DONATING TODAY

Ready to Roll at Urban Hotel Brisbane. What an incredible room and outlook for our Grant Presentation.

I am told by Elias’s mum that John is his new Hero! We hope to be able to support Elias and his family into the future.

Claude Web

Claude’s eldest brother spoke to the crowd about the changes to their lives these reverse cycle air conditioners would make. These two units will go a long way to improving the everyday life of Claude and reduce the number of hospital admissions and seizures he experiences every year.

Cody Web

John and Ricky are about to present Cody and his family with a Grant to fund the Daessy mount and accessories that will enable him to better communicate with his family and the broader community.

Daelle and her family were granted a ReturnTransfer Platform which will allow her to pull herself up with only minimal help and transfer to her bed or wheelchair in a much safer way. It will also go a long way to ease Daelle’s mum’s chronic back pain.

Hannah and her family were granted the bathroom modifications she and her family needs to make it a safe, relaxing and enjoyable environment for them all.

The John Maclean Foundation welcomes these children into our Family and look forward to assisting them further as they grow and their needs change.

Please Donate today so we can continue to assist families around Australia. #Change4Change
