The ‘Run for Resilience’ event was designed to provide a challenging, fun and uplifting day for the Dunedoo and surrounding communities to look forward to. We know that there have been several challenges faced by the community of Dunedoo - from drought to bushfires to mice & Covid-19, this community really needed something uplifting to bring everyone together for some fun!
The weather held out for us and the event achieved exactly what it set out to do. There was an incredibly uplifting and positive environment with lots of smiles, laughter and the look of happiness that set in once participants crossed the finish line.
It was fantastic to see families and a range of participants of all shapes, sizes and age come out to participate and lend a hand. The Dunedoo community truly is unique and it was evident on the day and the lead up to the event that there is an amazing sense resilience and community connectedness, this is something that every farming community needs!
Active Farmers would like to thank everyone involved in making this event such a great success including participants, volunteers, the committee and of course the sponsors. Without your help this magical day would not have been possible!
We know there are significant benefits to both physical and mental health when we are physically fit and have a challenge to work towards. This event will also provide the community with an opportunity to get together, have some fun and enjoy the community connection.
